Chiithuni (Pfoki) 2026 || Celebrating Tradition in Song Song Village, Mao Gate, Manipur.

Chiithuni Pfoki Kapra, celebrated on the sixth day of the Mao Naga Chiithuni (Mao New Year), marks the conclusion of the festival, one of the largest celebrations of the Mao Naga people. On this day, men and women dress in traditional attire. Women carry lunch prepared at home, and the community climbs the mountain together. Happy Chiithuni (Pfoki) from Song Song Village, Mao Gate, Senapati, Manipur. The Chiithuni festival is a significant celebration of the Mao Naga tribe, particularly in Chowainamai, Maopundong, Rabunamai, Song Song, Kalinamei, Shajouba, Tadubi, and Chakumei. It marks the end of the harvest period and the beginning of a new year. The festival promotes unity, equality, and brotherhood, showcasing the Mao community's rich cultural heritage. Hill climbing is one of the major activities of Chiithuni. Creating a documentary on the Chithuni Festival—hope you enjoy it! If there’s anything to improve, drop your thoughts in the comments. Thanks! 🎥✨♥️ I have a question: Why do people carry back firewood and leaves while returning from climbing hills? #manipur #senapati #northeastindia #chiithuni2026 #maonaga. #tribe
