Described ningol chakouba in 60 words

Answer 1

Ningol means 'married woman' and Chakouba means 'invitation for feast'; so the festival is the one where the married women are invited to their parents' home for a feast

On this festival, married women (Ningol) are invited to their parent's (Chakouba) to their parent's house with their children and husband. This is a kind of get together for the family where every member of the family sits and eats together

Initially the festival was called Piba Chakouba, Piba means son. Later In nineteenth century King Chandrakriti found the task of visiting all sisters' home in one day difficult. He started a new trend to invite all his sisters to his home so that Piba Chakouba became Ningol Chakouba.
