Besides their regular life the trible has a colourful festival.Every year after collecting the paddy & others cultivated recosserce from the top of the hill the MRU community celebrate a rich traditional and also too colourful festival which round during winter time - what is called the"Cow Killing Festival" . To celebrate & making more funny on this day they do many arrangements like drinking rice wine,dancing & coloring the faces etc.The belief says, long time ago once God called on a ceremony to give religious books or scripture to the every community leader, on that beautiful day every leader attended except the Mru leader - beacuse as the Mru are hard working all day long from dawn to dask so unfortunately no one from the Mru couldn't go in that ceremony, so later God was sending some scripture by a cow that was written on a banana leaf, but on the way the when the cow was hungry, so it eat finished the leaf with whole scripture & many years later this situation was dreamt by a Mru man several nights & he informed his leader.The leader called on other Mru leader & decided the give punish the cow, so on this day they put a cow in a tiny-tiny cage & slowly attack by sharp spear while day dance & drink around it."
