Day-1 Tsokum Festival || Indigenous Games & Beating of Log Drum || Noklak Vill@nionera

Tsokum Sumai is celebrated in the month of September or in the first past of October to invoke blessing for a rich harvest. It has immense impact and meaning on the Socio-religious life of the Khiamniungans. During Tsokum Sumai, each and every family offer prayer and make sacrifices by killing domesticated animals to the gods (Ko-a) for fertility of crops, bountiful harvest, to bless their livestock and grant good health to human beings as well.
Tsokum is the festival of dedication to commence the harvest in the jhum field. The harvested food grains from the new jhum field is brought and tasted only after the celebration of Tsokum Sumai. Further, the activities of collecting new materials for building houses and granaries begin after the festival. Tsokum is a weeklong celebration that lasts for eight (8) days by performing different forms of rites and rituals.
