Among other festivals, Chapchar Kut or Spring Festival is the most popular
festival, celebrated after completion of the most arduous task of jungle
clearing for 'jhum' operations. On this day, people of all ages, young and
old, men and women dressed in their respective colourful costumes and
head-gears, assemble and perform various folk dances, sing traditional
songs, accompanied by the beating sound of drums, gongs and cymbals.
Mizos boast of a number of folk and community dances that have been handed
down over the generations. It is in these dances that the visitor can get a
glimpse of the tribal heritage of the Mizos. Most important of these dances
are Cheraw (bamboo dance), Khuallam, Solakia and Chheih Iam. These dances
have evolved through community involvement and participation.
