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

Famous quotes containing the word festival:
“The surest guide to the correctness of the path that women take is joy in the struggle. Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“Don’t you know there are 200 temperance women in this county who control 200 votes. Why does a woman work for temperance? Because she’s tired of liftin’ that besotted mate of hers off the floor every Saturday night and puttin’ him on the sofa so he won’t catch cold. Tonight we’re for temperance. Help yourself to them cloves and chew them, chew them hard. We’re goin’ to that festival tonight smelling like a hot mince pie.”
—Laurence Stallings (1894–1968)
