AGARTALA, Jan 13 (TIWN): With the initiatives of the Puthiba Lai Haraoba Committee five days long “Lai Haraoba” festival started.
Lai Haraoba is a Manipuri festival, and is associated with Meiteis, celebrated to please traditional deities. Celebrated in honour of the sylvan deities known as Umang Lai, the festival represents the worship of traditional deities and ancestors.
However, Lai Haraoba means "merry making of the Gods.
The festival is in part a recollection of the creation stories with the first origin of this universe and the evolution of the plants and animals through the will of Atiya Shidaba.
However, the origin of the festival is that the gods held the first Lai Haraoba on the Koubru hill, so that their descendants should imitate them and perform the same as it had been done by the deities so that they will never forget the secret and sacred story of the creation of this universe and the birth of the different lives on this earth.
