Details
Chaga Ngee is celebrated for 5 days in the month of October from 25th to 30th. The apex body of the Liangmais publicly announces that there must be no conflict between the people during and after the festival. The festival starts off with a Chamimalapbo (making fire) along with zouththoubo (rice beer making) and this day is referred to as a "Day of Welcome". The people partake in merry making and dining on their preferred foods and eventually the youths gather in their respective morungs and and engage with their elders in discussions and singing. On the second day it is observed that there would be zoumadung (leaven the beer) and also npengkiapbo (totem shooting). The npeng (totem) resembles a humanoid representing an enemy. The participants of this particular activity must maintain purity while loudly proclaiming their ancestor's names and then finally start shooting the totem and specific outcomes are attributed to different hits on the totem's body. The subsequent days are termed as Gadi or pon malaungbo (sharing of meals and resources), where individuals partake in various competitions and merry making and also a grand feast and dressed in their finest traditional attire. The last day is called a Chaga pahye (end of the festival) and it is taboo to partake in any domestic chores until the leftovers of the food is completed.[3][4][5][6]
