IMPHAL, OCTOBER 27: Eighteen beautiful girls walked the ramp once again in the hill town of Kangpokpi in Manipur’s Senapati district on Wednesday for the second round screening of the upcoming Miss Kut contest during the Sadar Hills District Level Chavang Kut celebrations.
The session was organised by the Miss Kut sub-committee of the District Level Chavang Kut Committee of Sadar Hills.
Chavang Kut is an annual post-harvest festival of the Kuki Chin Mizo communities in Manipur. It is celebrated on Novermber 1 every year.
Hundreds of spectators from the hill including the families of the contestants thronged the Community Hall of Kangpokpi near the Brigadier Thomas Ground, around 45 km north of Imphal to watch the screening session. During the event, every contestant introduced herself to the six-member jury and the audience.
Besides the screening, the organizing committee also carried out screening of the modern dance contenders for a carnival. The category for this event was solo and group. 17 contenders will vie for the coveted Miss Kut title, which carries a cash prize of Rs. 50,000. The event will be on November 1 evening.
The District Level Chavang Kut Committee has appealed to the people of Sadar Hills to enthusiastically participate in the significant festival ‘with a spirit of peace and oneness so as to harness understanding and harmony among the diverse ethnic communities of Sadar Hills and to evolve a way of garnering peace, communal harmony, friendship, and forging new ties.’
The committee also cautioned the public to abstain from using intoxicants during the festival. The organizers have declared strict prohibition ‘so as to avoid unsociable environment during the carnival.’
The committee has urged the village chiefs of Sadar Hills to support the ‘thanksgiving’ festival ‘latest by October 28.’
