Si-Donyi festival is celebrated by one of the major tribes of Arunachal Pradesh known as Tagin. Celebrated in the month of January every year, this festival marks the beginning of a new year. The festival is observed for the well-being of the community and mankind as a whole. Tagins are the inhabitants of Upper Subansiri district of Arunachal Pradesh.
The term Si-Dyoni comes from two words “Si”which means SUN; and “Donyi” which means EARTH. So, evidently during the festival, the sun and earth are worshipped along with other deities and sacrifice of two Mithuns (Gayal) are conducted with the warding off of the evil spirit. The high priest, Nyibu recite certain hymns known as ‘Uyu Barman’ that calls the spirit who is responsible for causing the problem.
