Kut Festival of Manipur

The Kut Festival is an autumn festival of the different tribes of Kuki-Chin-Mizo groups of people in Manipur. The festival has been variously described at different places amongst different tribes as Chavang-Kut or Khodou. The Kut Festival is a thanksgiving festival which includes songs and dances along with marry making. The festival is an annual event in the honor of the giver of an abundant harvest. This time of the year the whole harvest is gathered and the farmer jubilates in the accomplishment of his hard work throughout the year.

This year, as in other years, the Kut Festival was celebrated with much pomp and splendour by the Kuki-Chin-Mizo groups of Manipur.
