Festivals

Cultural and eco-festivals serve as vibrant celebrations of identity, bringing neighboring villages together to honor their shared connection with nature (Mei Ramew).

Cultural Revitalization

Festivals feature traditional music, dance performances, folk storytelling, and exhibitions of indigenous crafts like bamboo weaving and handloom textiles.
