This is the main
agriculture festival of the year,
which lies in the month of
February and its celebration spread
over a period of about eleven days.
It is celebrated to mark the sowing
season. The Village Chief sows some
seeds in first instance marking the
sowing season and then the rest of
the villagers start to sow their fields.
During all these days, merry-making
takes the form of eating, drinking,
games, dancing and singing. Dancing
and singing usually commence in the
evening, tall bamboo and pine resin
torches light up the grounds and the
dancers dance round the fire. Flickering
lights, glimmering dresses and ornaments,
flashing spears and daos with background
songs add the attraction of the festival.
