3• Ningol Chakouba is one of the popular social festivals of the people of Manipur where married women are invited in their parent’s house for a grand feast. This is why the festival is named Ningol Chakouba, where Ningol means married women and Chakouba means invitation. During this festival, the invitation is usually made by the son of the parent family a week in advance. This festival is celebrated as it is believed to strengthen the bond of love and affection between the brothers and sisters and the daughters and parents of a family. It is also a form of family reunion where the married daughters visit their parent’s home in a festive mood. So yes it can be called a festival for women.
