Naknyulum is accountably the most important festival celebrated by the Chang Naga tribe, in Nagaland. It is in North East India, where the festival has garnered honourable recognition. The originality and theme of the festival are closely shaped and inspired by the history of native Nagaland. It was originally a religious ceremony to celebrate their deliverance from darkness. As so, it stands today un-wavered as ever as a ceremony that applauds victory of good over evil. It is a symbolic tribute that exercises customary beliefs with regards to their history. The ancient Chang culture believed that, there were three heavenly gods, each god empowered with their own gifts and blessings. During this festival, people offer prayers and invoke god’s blessings with special rituals.
