The annual festival of the colourful Dimasa
tribe. It is exclusively a socio-religious festival which is generally observed
before starting a new cultivation. Rajini Gabra is celebrated during day time.
The 'Kunang' or the village headman propitiates the family deity by closing
the village gate on the worship date. On the same night in a function called
'Harni Gabra', the presiding deity is worshipped for the protection and welfare
of the people.
It is very interesting to note that during the Rajini Gabra and Hami Gabra festival
if any outsider enters the village inspite off seeing the closed gate, the entire
function is considered to be spoilt. The intruders then have to bear the total
cost for holding the festival anew.
