From what I understand, this was draftified for your chronic usage of AI. I see the first paragraph wasn't edited at all since this article was first created and seems to have a pattern consistent with machine writing. Are you certain this article wasn't one of the ones you wrote with AI assistance?

- Comment: I was attempting cleaning this up before approving as it is undoubtedly notable. However, there are some conflicting information in the cited sources such as the various days of the rituals, and their names (which is probably due to the vast geography of the community). The problem is that most of these information come from travel websites rather than a single peer-reviewed source. Astra Travasso (talk) 18:56, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

The Solung Festival is one of the agricultural festivals celebrated the Adi people of Arunachal Pradesh, India. The five-day festival marks the end of the sowing season, and is celebrated annually in early September.[1]
Significance
[edit]One of the major festivals of the Adi people,[2] Solung stems from Adi traditions reflecting their strong connection with nature and agriculture.[3] 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.[2]
Rituals
[edit]Solung is celebrated in the first week of September after Adi farmers complete the sowing of seeds in their fields[4]. The festival marks this end of the activity and offers prayers and rituals for a good harvest.[5]
The festival lasts for five days and is divided into different phases[6]. 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.[7] 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.[8] 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.[9][10]
