Phoutha Peli Chiechama, Khoupfhünyi celebration

A Brief Description of the Festival
"Khoupfhünyi" is an annual festival observed in the month of August in celebration of anticipation for good harvest. It is also known as " Women's Festival" for the significance it holds around the lives of women and their contribution during the harvest season.
Traditionally, the community starts preparing for Khoupfhünyi by the beginning of the month through several observations of rituals (Thenyi, Zhangou, Thenyi Zharü, Mi Pene, Mi Thana, Teirü Teikhrie, Teirü Teikhrie Kicie, Docü, Khoupfhü, Liedepfü Kizhie, Liede Rüzhie and Liede) for days while observing the moon. The celebration begins once the New Moon (Khrüsa) appears. On the day of Khoupfhünyi, all the members of the household partake in feasting and savoring the prepared dishes and delicacies, especially of fresh pork cooked with snails. The emphasis of the festival also revolves around "Sopfü" - a female deity who is honoured and from whom blessings are sought during the celebrations. A seperate dish, customarily of meat cooked with bamboo shoot and ginger without chillies, is prepared for the deity, nd the mother serves the same as an offering to Sopfü.
The essence of Khoupfhünyi festival, irrespective of how it was celebrated traditionally, is still remembered and observed by the community members with much merriment and feasting.
