Yangli Festival

April 1, 2023

Tiwa tribesmen in Assam celebrate the Yangli festival once every three years to mark the beginning of the sowing season.
The Yangli festival, which is related to agriculture, is a significant event for the Tiwas as farming is the main source of income for their community.
During the festival, the Tiwas perform dances and offer prayers for a successful harvest, seeking protection for their crops from pests and natural calamities.
