Pachorojia Godalboria songs are indigenous to the Tiwa communities residing in Morigaon & Nagaon district of Assam. They are termed as Pachorojia Godalboria songs since performances are prevalent in five kingdoms (Pachorojia) of Tiwa kings. Rooted in agricultural activities they are performed by Tiwa tribe members who subsist on agriculture. The lyrics are very simple but the expressions are powerful. Thematically they describe nature and a longing for loved ones.
