The Solung Festival is one of the agricultural festivals celebrated the Adi people of Arunachal Pradesh, India. The five-day festival marks the start of the harvest season, and is celebrated annually in early September. It lasts for five days.

Significance

[edit]

One of the major festivals of the Adi people,[1] Solung stems from Adi traditions reflecting their strong connection with nature and agriculture.[2] It is held annually in early September and heralds the start of the harvest season. Part of the rituals, local deities are worshipped for prosperity, protection, and community wellbeing.[3]

Phases

[edit]

The festival lasts for five days and is divided into different phases[4]. The first day, called Solung-Gidi Dogin, involves the preparation and distribution of rice beer and local delicacies. The second day, known as Doreph-Long, is marked by animal sacrifices, primarily mithuns and pigs, to appease deities and ensure agricultural prosperity.[5] The third day features Binnýat, where prayers and offerings are made to Kine Nane, the goddess of crops, Doying Bote, the god of wisdom and protection, and Gumin Soyin, the guardian deity of households.[6] The fourth and fifth days include traditional dances such as Ponung, performed by Adi women, and the ceremonial exchange of food and gifts within the community.[7][8]
