Rajini Gabra & Harni Gabra
Publisher: National Portal of India. india.gov.in
Description: The annual festival of the colourful Dimasa tribe. It is exclusively a socio-religious festival that is generally observed before starting 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 Harni 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 a new.
