Nagaland’s yet another celebrated festival Mimkut is definitely a must see. Celebrated by Kuki Tribe, this unique festival reflects the efforts of the tribals to please their God, Thilha. Mimkut is marked by sacrifices of unblemished white fowls; teamwork to clean the village, fields, water sources and adjoining hamlets; to fetch firewood for campfire and preparation of traditional food and JU (rice beer) for the community feast. It indeed makes a great festival to be witnessed in Nagaland.
