The Festival
There are six major types of Lai Haraoba. The differences in the six festivals are very wide and broad; however, the overall theme is the same. The differences are in the variations of processes and in cultural aspects and not in the inner wisdom and basis of the philosophy of Lai Haraoba. The different types are:
- Kanglei (Imphal) Haraoba
- Chakpa Haraoba
- Andro Haraoba
- Sekmai Haraoba
- Moirang Haraoba
- Kakching Haraoba
