Solung is an agricultural festival.[1] of the Adi people of Arunachal Pradesh, India[2][3]. The five-day festival is held annually in early September and marks the end of the sowing season.[4] The festival is accompanied by the traditional dance of ponung[5][6][3]
Cultivation is central to the livelihood of the Adi, whose traditional food and knowledge systems are closely tied to the local agricultural environment.[7] The community holds a detailed body of traditional knowledge about the plants and biocultural resources of the eastern Himalaya, which supports its farming practices.[8] Indigenous vegetables and other plant species gathered by the Adi are regarded as essential to the community's rituals and festivals, including Solung.[9]
