The Zomi community celebrated their harvest festival, Khuado Pawi, in Vikaspuri, New Delhi, on 11 October 2016.
Dr Alana Golmei, Director of the Pannu Foundation and Founding General Secretary of the North East Support Centre and Helpline, attended the event as the chief guest. Bruce K. Thangkhal, President of the Zomi Students’ Federation, Delhi Cell, and media in-charge of NESCH, joined as the special invitee.
A large number of Zomis living in the capital came together for the festival with joy and happiness.
The event was organised by Zomi Innkuan Delhi. Zomi pastor TK Lianpu explained that Khuado Pawi is a Zomi festival celebrated after the harvest. It is a ritual and feast meant to cleanse the village and its surroundings.
In simple words, it is about driving away darkness and illness from the village and its people.
The festival is a time for gathering, sharing, and friendship after months of hard work in different places of employment.
The celebration featured cultural dances, singing, speeches and blessings. Young and old Zomis wore colourful and beautiful traditional clothing, adding charm to the event.
