ITANAGAR, Dec 4: Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt. General K.T. Parnaik (Retd.) has greeted the people on the auspicious occasion of Podi-Barbi. He expressed hope that the festivity will usher-in happiness, good harvest and prosperity in society.
In his message, the Governor said that festivals play a crucial role in preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage and traditions of the indigenous tribes. It is a time for celebration which serves as a means to pass down cultural values, stories, and practices from one generation to the next. The celebration of festivals in Arunachal Pradesh involves display of traditional art forms, music, dance, and rituals. These events bring the community together and also create a sense of identity and belonging among the people. I am sanguine that this festival will further strengthen the cultural assets of the Adi Tribe, particularly Ramo, Pai-Libo and Bokar communities, he said.
On this joyous occasion, I offer my prayers to Almighty to invoke His blessings for each one of us, the Governor said in his message.
