Etor festival

Sunday, May 15, 2016

Arunachal Pradesh is a land of festival. Not even a single month is allowed to pass off without a festival. Etor, the name of a huge festival of Adi community in East Siang district draws no less foreign and domestic tourists. It is, precisely, a agriculture-based festival with traditional pomp and gaiety in various parts of the state.

Etor means fencing in Adi and the festival marks the beginning of the annual agricultural cycle. The Adi people living in the state come together to repair and put up new fences to protect the paddy fields for the season. The entire event consists of a huge feast and puja offerings to appease the gods with traditional songs and dances. It is rich in cultural impressions and offers glimpses of Adi folk culture.
