About Chapchar Kut

According to info available in wikipedia, Chapchar Kut is celebrated during March after completion of their most arduous task of jhum operation i.e., jungle-clearing (clearing of the remnants of burning). It is a spring festival celebrated with great favour and gaiety.

Chapchar Kut is one of three annual festivals of the Mizos celebrated to mark three different stages of the agricultural cycle. The other two are Mim Kut and Pawl Kut, also revived in the last century.

Spring fest – Chapchar Kut celebration

As per historical chronicles, Chapchar Kut is estimated to have started in 1450–1700 A.D. in a village called Suaipui. Chapchar Kut used to be celebrated to thank the gods for saving the people from harm during the clearing of forest on hill slopes for jhum cultivation at the beginning of a year.

On the first night the young men and women would dance all night. The women would come dressed wearing a Vakira. Chai dance has its origins in this festival.

The gaiety and fervour of “Chapchar Kut” shines through with plenty of mass dancing and music to keep everyone in good spirits. The state government declared Friday as government holiday to allow the people to participate in the festivity in huge number.
