The fourth day is spent in visiting each other, drinking and singing at each other's houses. As soon as it is dark men and women meet before the chhirbuk and dance round the stone drinking; then they go to the lup-lakpa's house and drink again, and then to a house where all the unmarried girls are collected and drink again, and then bring the girls to the chhirbuk and dance round the stone again, drinking as they go. This is a pretty heavy day's work, and it speaks well for the young folk if many of them have the energy to complete the programme by drinking and dancing together on the fifth day. During the festival the village is "sherh." The Chawte, before cutting their jhums, sacrifice a pig and go down to the stream and sharpen their daos--"Trust in God, but keep your powder dry." The above festivals correspond to the "Chap-char-kut" of the Lushais, and the following resemble the "Mim-kut." The Purum in September observe "Chulkut" for five days, making and exchanging rice cakes and drinking rice beer, but not sacrificing any animals. The Kolhen observe "Chamershi" for two days in the middle of the rains--viz., in July or August. A pig and a cock are sacrificed in the khul-lakpa's house and eaten there by men only. Old men dance, and rice beer is drunk. This feast is supposed to expel evil spirits. The Chiru in July sacrifice a pig on behalf of the village to Pathian, while each household offers him a fowl. This feast is called the "feast of the hot season rest"--i.e., the few days of leisure after the second weeding of the crops. The Aimol, after burning the jhums, celebrate a feast they call "Lo-an-dai." Three fowls are killed and eaten in the khulpu's house, and rice beer is drunk, but no gong-beating or singing is allowed. After the harvest, feasts corresponding to the Lushai "Polkut" are held, but among the Purum a feast called "Shanghong" has to be celebrated in October, just when the grain is filling in the ear. Every householder has to bring a small sheaf of the green rice, which is presented to the village god, and feasting and drinking goes on for three days, during which time the village is "sherh." The Kolhen, before reaping the crop, carry the khul-lakpa or lup-lakpa out of the village towards the fields with beating of drums, and later drink at his expense. The Kom call the harvest festival "Lam-kut." It lasts three days. No sacrifice is performed, but the young men and girls dance and drink together. Among the Chawte the custom is practically the same as among the Purum, save that the feast only lasts one day.
