‘Sükrünye’ is the greatest and most significant festival of the Chakhesang Tribe of Nagaland. It is celebrated in the month of January. A few of the villages also celebrate it in the month of February. For the convenience of all concerned, the days from 7th to 15th January have been reaffirmed and set aside for the entire Chakhesang Community for the celebration of Sükrünye. After completion of this pre-harvesting festival, the people are to go for seed-sowing work (Jhuming) from February-April. With the coming of Christianity, ‘Sükrünye’s religious and traditional ceremonies and rituals are no longer in practice in most of the villages. However, ‘Sükrünye’ is still celebrated with great significance and enthusiasm mostly by the Chokris in Phek district. During this traditional festival the indigenous games, folk songs, folk dance, and sports fully occupy the festive period of sixth days starting from 15th January in keeping with the Christian spirit
