Sekrenyi Festivals

The Angamis in Nagaland have no dearth of occasions to remain spirited and festive. Feasting, singing and dancing are the way of their lives. The much vaunted festival of these people atop Touphema in the north eastern hills state is Sekrenyi. The ten day long event known also as Phousanyi comes amid the February coldwaves. The word “Sekrenyi” literally means sanctification. Sekre stands for sanctification, nyi means feast while thenyi stands for festival. The annual event keeps these tribal people festive in the harvest season.

Mimkuut Festival

Nagaland, the abode of colourful tribal people keeps always throbbing with festivals displaying the rich traditions and cultures. The festivals, mostly, are confined to the farming fraternity who have been feeding the north eastern state. The most striking harvest festival of the Kukis in Nagaland is Mimkuut which draws no less applause from the foreign and domestic tourists.

The festival takes place in January in the Kuki Naga dominated Kohima where formalities are lined up to appease Thilha. Animals are sacrificed with the belief of Chung Pathen, their supreme heavenly god.
