Ngada, the biggest festival of the Rengma Nagas, is a time for thanksgiving, forgiveness and merry making, marking the end of the agricultural year. The festival begins from preparation of rice beer at every household, to visiting houses of neighbours and relatives and friends. The dead ones are also remembered and paid respect during Ngada by offering wines and foods near the graves by their near and dear ones. The celebration lasts for 7/8 days and on the last day a big feast is organised where the entire villagers gather together to celebrate, Folk songs and dances performed by young and old.

WHY NGADA FESTIVAL?
