There are Two sects of Buruds
One is Hindu Burud
and another is lingayat Burud
Hindu Burud all rituals are identical to Hindu Maratha
All Lingayats bury in soil (daffan) their dead body.
As against cremation (Aggnidaaha) among Hindus and so on.
Because of there is No historical caste leader,saint, or personality in Burud Caste.
That's why, Some Karnataka side Buruds looks towards their caste leader to kaittya Swami who accepted basav Raj's , lingayat teachings that worship only linga, not gods & murti (idols)
People belonging to Hindu Or Lingayat Burud Caste are mostly native of Maharashtra & Karnataka (India). Burud is derived from a Sanskrit word "Buruda". Buruda in Sanskrit means "a basket-maker, mat-maker". People of this caste are recognized by their traditional occupation of bamboo crafting. In the old days, Buruds (people belonging to the Burud Caste) were dependent on bamboo crafting for their livelihood. They used bamboo to prepare different articles like mats, ladders, baskets.

बुरूड
बनवितो आम्ही चटई, बास्केट आणि वडगा
समाजाला संस्कृत मध्ये नाव आहे बुरुडा
घेऊ आम्ही भरारी जसे की गरुड
आम्ही जातीचे बुरूड आम्ही जातीचे बुरूड...
पर्यावरणाचे रक्षणावर आहे आमचे उदरनिर्वाह
गुगल देवतेलाही नाही आमची पर्वाह
महाराष्ट्र बांबू बोर्डाने वाढविले आमचे गरुर
आम्ही जातीचे बुरूड आम्ही जातीचे बुरूड...
प्रगत होणार आम्ही घेतला आहे ध्यास
याबाबत जोरात सुरू आहेत प्रयास
जगणार नाही आम्ही जसे जगते झुरूड
आम्ही जातीचे बुरूड आम्ही जातीचे बुरूड...
श्री. रिमोद खरोले,
नागपूर
