HUN-Thadou Cultural Festival 2025 to Be Held in Guwahati on April 4

The Organizing Committee is thrilled to announce the HUN-Thadou Cultural Festival 2025, set to take place on April 4, 2025, in Guwahati, Assam. This vibrant celebration will honor the rich cultural heritage of the Thadou community, symbolizing renewal, growth, and the deep connection to nature through the sprouting of newly sown seeds.

Historically, Hun, a festival celebrated for generations, holds significant cultural importance in Manipur, where it is officially recognized as a restricted holiday. This year marks a historic milestone as Guwahati has been chosen as the venue for the festival, expanding its reach to Thadou communities living outside Manipur. The decision aims to provide a safe and inclusive environment for the celebration, while promoting peace, harmony, and cultural pride.

The festival also serves as an opportunity to assert the Thadou Tribe’s distinct identity, particularly in Assam, where the Thadou are recognized as an Indigenous Tribe. The event comes at a time when perceptions of Kuki dominance often overshadow the Thadou community’s unique cultural legacy. By hosting the festival in Guwahati, the committee hopes to affirm the Thadou people’s heritage and celebrate their distinctiveness.

In a significant move, the organizing committee is also advocating for the recognition of Hun as a state-approved festival, ensuring the preservation and promotion of the Thadou community’s traditions for future generations.

The festival’s planning is well underway, with dedicated sub-committees overseeing various aspects, including guest coordination, finance, cultural programs, hospitality, logistics, and community mobilization. These teams are working diligently to make the event both meaningful and unforgettable.

The HUN-Thadou Cultural Festival 2025 is not just a cultural gathering; it is a statement of unity, peace, and the recognition of the Thadou people. By connecting Thadou communities worldwide and fostering cross-cultural understanding, the festival seeks to promote coexistence, mutual respect, and shared heritage.

The Organizing Committee warmly invites all communities to join in this grand celebration, honoring the rich heritage of the Thadou people and supporting the cause of peace, unity, and cultural diversity. Together, we can make the HUN-Thadou Cultural Festival 2025 a beacon of hope, harmony, and cultural pride.
