when man creates the Gods...

one of the few times that we are allowed to create the Gods.. ....and some demons too..!!!...and to represent ourselves as an equal to the sacred beings....this is the Shigmo Festival..

with colorful pageantry inspired by legends of the Gods, from sacred Hindu texts and by local culture, the Shigmo festival is unique to this part of India and is most vibrant native festival here..celebrating spring...it is the pride of the place and coincides with the other great Indian spring festival of Holi...
