Yazali (AP), Feb 28 (ANI): Hundreds of tribals in Arunachal Pradesh’s Yazali town concluded the 50th anniversary celebrations of their agricultural festival, ‘Nyokum Yullo’, with pomp and gaiety. ‘Nyokum Yullo’ is the major agricultural festival of Nyishis, the ethnic tribal group of the state. The tribals believe that all the deities, Gods and Goddesses gather on the Earth with Chief Goddess ‘Nyokum’, the goddess of prosperity for this festival. The tribals then invoke the deities for their blessings on good harvest. Men and women celebrated ‘Nyokum Yullo’ with traditional tribal dance, music, rituals, and sacrificing animals on the day. Men dressed up in a cotton eri robe draped from the shoulder and women wore the ‘par ej’ and donned jewelry. The festival was celebrated in an organic theme, as the local and organisers completely banned the usage of plastic items.
