Aoling Festival
This festival marks the beginning of of new year and the start of the sowing season. Several rituals take place and sacrifices of cattle are made to appease the supreme power. Family, friends and neighbors are invited over to lavish feasts. The Konyaks dress up in their traditional gorgeous attires. It is a grand affair altogether.
We celebrated the Aoling Festival with the Konyaks at Sheanghah Chingnyu village and Longwa. This video is our experience of the Aoling Festival celebrated at Sheanghah Chingyu village, which is one of the largest villages in the Mon district.
