Summary
| Description |
English: The Rongmei (also known as Kabui) are one of the major indigenous communities a part of the Naga tribes of North-East India. The Rongmei Naga are a scheduled tribe under the Constitution of India. The Rongmei have a rich culture, customs and traditions. They share similarity with their kindred tribes of Zeme, Liangmai and Inpui which together are known as Zeliangrong. Rongmei were earlier known as Kabui along with Inpui tribe. Rongmei is a combination of two words RONG and MEI meaning SOUTH and PEOPLE respectively. The Rongmei settlement area happens to be the southern portion of the vast tract of Zeliangrong country and hence those who settle in the southern part of their habitat call themselves Rongmei meaning southerners.
The Gaan-Ngai festival (post-harvest festival) is celebrated annually between December and January. It follows the lunar calendar and is celebrated on the 13th day of the Wakching or Gaan Ngai buh. It is celebrated to worship the Supreme God Haipou Tingkao Ragwang. Among Naga tribes, they are known for colourful dances and traditional attire.
