This holiday is analogous to one practiced by the Meitei people called Yaosang. This holiday is linked to the story of how a figure was killed by a creature that burst forth from a pillar. Another story of the (15[1])origin of this holiday is said to be in honor of Rati’s devotion to her husband, which leads to his resurrection. During this holiday, some women use (-5[1])sticks called lahti to beat men holding (15[1])(*) shields. A story about a figure wearing a cloak that was immune to fire led to the use of bonfires the night before this holiday. This holiday falls on the full moon of the month of Phalguna, during which some participants consume the psychoactive drink bhang. A powder called gulal is thrown around on, for 10 points, what Hindu Festival of Colors? ■END■ (10[2])
