Pi-Pe Festival




Pi-Pe, a three day long festival, is celebrated by the Rengma Nagas - a tribal community in Assam. It falls during the month 'Thui' (January) and is celebrated to ward off evils of the preceding years. People keep themselves neat and clean on these days. This ritual is strictly observed before Jhum - a traditional form of crop production.
