A stupa-like structure was made up with stacks of firewood on this auspicious occasion at the festival venue. The entire stack of firewood is then offered to Buddha in that festival. The stack was set on fire early in the morning followed by a feast.

The Tai Khamtis celebrate many festivals and rituals which are connected with the events associated with Buddhism.

Rites and rituals are performed with Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha Vandana, Khamapana, taking refuge in Trisarana and observance of Sila. At the end of every ritual Metta Bhavana Gatha is recited for well-being of all sentinels.

People from all walks of life, dressed in their traditional attire, came to witness the occasion with much fanfare and enthusiasm.
