Pasighat-The land of Rising Sun

18/12/2024

One of the interesting things about this time of year is often surprising people get in touch, frequently after decades of silence. You receive a Christmas card or an email saying Hello—it’s been years but here I am again. How are you? Merry Christmas!

The mind has to shift into neutral for a few seconds to process this name, then dredge up their face, and finally the memories of this person who left your solar system long ago. But now, like Halley’s Comet, their orbit has for some reason brought them back for a glimpse before they’re off again.

I like when this happens. It reminds me I’ve had more than one life, one set of friends, one set of intimates, ex-students, etcetera. It reminds me life really is made up of chapters and what we inhabit right now is just one and not our whole story.

Once upon a time we used to be excited for growing up. But look at us now how lonely we feel, how we battling with ourselves to live the life.

The Adi tribes celebrate a number of festivals, but Unying Aaran is the prime festival for them.
Unying Aran is one of the oldest festivals of the Adi community commemorating the arrival of spring season.

It is celebrated on 7th March to herald the season of shifting cultivation.

Unying Aran is basically a hunting festival followed by the Adi tribesmen. It is the first festival of the Adi ‘new year’.

It is the festival which unites all the members of the community and they all pray for the bumper harvest.
They celebrate this festival on ground with great enthusiasm and traditional rituals with intense and passionate feeling.

In this festival, it is tradition for all male members of a family to go on a hunting and stays in the jungles for a week.

The majority of Adi traditionally follow the tribal Donyi-Polo religion. Worship of gods and goddesses like Kine Nane, Doying Bote, Gumin Soyin and Pedong Nane, etc.

It is traditionally celebrated with ‘Bari’ songs sung by male elders and ‘Yakjong’ dance performed by youths (boys and girls) in villages. Through these performances, they narrate stories of the origin of the festival. Villagers also pray for the well-being of their tribesmen.

"Today might be a beginning. It might be an end. It might be a bend in the road or a straightaway. There are countless possibilities, especially just before dawn when the pale blue sky can't decide between stars and the first bright rays of sunlight."

Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things: air, sleep, dreams, sea, the sky - all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.
