The competitions, which included traditional fire-making, top spinning, and traditional hopping, were held, with members of SBCK representing the ten fellowships participating.
Special presentations such as war cries, folk dances, folk songs, and a drama on the traditional Morung system and the customary practice of seeking a woman’s hand in marriage were part of the cultural programme.
