They are unknown about their origin but they accept, they have a relation with Sun God(because they workship God Shani as their east dev or kul devta). They form one endogamous group. The Gotra (Clan) of Turaiha People is '']'' and they have no sub castes. Marriage by exchange is practiced. The dowry is largely prevalent and is paid in cash and kind but little more. Widow remarriage is freely allowed, and younger brother may take his elder brother's widow to wife if he chooses . Polygamy is permissible but is seldom practiced. The Turahas cremate their dead. Turahas take ''Pakki'' prepared by ]s, Kahar, Nai, ], Kalwar, Teli, ] and Pasi. After independence, Turaiha was declared as scheduled caste in constitution of India."{{Cn|date=June 2024}}
