Zangda




Zangda was a custom performed by the Lakher Tribe of Mizoram. It was performed to please the guardian angel of a family member. They believed that this form of sacrifice can bring happiness and prosperity in the family. Sacrifice would be of a fowl. To point out that the Zangda was going on; the members placed bamboos cross-wise outside the house. On the night of the sacrifice, no visitors were allowed in the house.
