ITANAGAR, Nov 14: Governor Brig. (Dr.) B. D. Mishra (Retd.) extended warm greetings to the people of the State on the festive occasion of Nyethrii Dow, the agricultural festival of the Hrusso tribe. He expressed hope and prayed that this year’s Nyethrii Dow invokes the kind blessings of the Almighty for bumper harvest and security of the crops against damages and natural calamities.
In his message, the Governor said that festivals have always showcased the cultural essence of the people and the community. Since the beginning of civilization, these festive occasions have been the medium for preserving and strengthening indigenous knowledge, heritage, traditions, culture and rituals. These celebrations enrich the social, cultural and economic life of indigenous communities and provide opportunities for the people to maintain their heritage. This has also helped the youth to appreciate the sacraments of the festival, which stand for harmonious relationship between man and nature, he said.
I join my Hrusso brethren in offering prayer to Almighty God for his choicest blessings for happiness and prosperity for each one of us, the Governor said in his message.
