The Murias are traditionally animists. As far as religious and social beliefs are concerned, the Murias have several totems and several gods of villages and tribal sub-groups. They are superstitious and believe in sorcery. They are not allowed to eat their totem animal and must mourn even if one of them dies.There are a variety of Muria dance, like the Hulki, the Har Endanna, the Karsana etc. The dances are performed for fun and enjoyment. The dance steps are quick and vibrant which adds an element of rhythm to the whole form.
