Tuluni Festivals
The sowing season in Nagaland ends with a festive note. July, the fag-end of the season keeps the Sumi Nagas festive. The colourful tribe, known for their unique culture and tradition, celebrate their much vaunted Tuluni festival to mark the end of the season of back breaking cultivation period. Literally, “Tuluni” stands for rice beer. Some of the Sumi tribe people call it “anni’ which means the season of plenteous crops. Thus, rice beer dominate the festival apart from traditional songs and dances which revives the pledge to strengthen their communal harmony.
