Rongker and Chomangkan are the two most
important festivals of the Karbis, an indeginous tribe of Karbi Anglong.
Rongker is basically a springtime festival of merriment and is performed at
the beginning of the New year, i.e. April. To propitiate different gods and
goddesses for the well being of the entire village, the elderly male folk organise
Rongker so that people can be free from diseases and natural calamities for
the entire year. They pray for a good harvest too. The women are not allowed
to enter the worship arena during this festival.
On the other hand, Chomangkan is the festival dedicated to the dead. It is primarily
a death ceremony. There is no particular time for holding this funeral ceremony.
It depends upon the convenience of the locality. This festival is a must for
every Karbi. It is a nonstop four days and four nights celebration.
