Manipur, with its abundant natural beauty, is home to multiple ethnic communities. Among all the festivals and ceremonies that have kept the unity and tradition of the state intact, one is Ningol Chakouba. It is celebrated on the second lunar day in the Hiyangei month of the Manipur calendar. This festival is mainly celebrated with the theme of strengthening the bond of love between married women (Ningol) with their paternal families.
Ningol Chakouba is celebrated in the entire region of Manipur. Originally, people from only Meitei Pangal communities used to celebrate this festival. But now, it is marked by other communities in Manipur.
It’s the festival of family reunions, where sisters bless brothers. It strengthens the bond of a woman with her brother, sister and parents.
On this auspicious day, married women are invited to their paternal home for a feast (Chakouba), which is held together with other family members. And when the feast ends, brothers, uncles and fathers (and any male family member) give gifts to the married women. In return, women also bring special gifts for their families.
