Wangala Festival, also known as the festival of ‘100 drums’, is a harvest festival celebrated by the ‘Garo Tribes’ in Meghalaya.

• During this festival, people offer various sacrifices to the deity Sanljong or the Sun God.
• The Wangala Festival is usually celebrated for two days but sometimes it can also go up to a week.
• The celebrations include serving local rice beer to the Sun God, dressing up in colourful traditional attires and dancing to the beat of 100 drums.
• The dance form has a popular pattern where two parallel lines are formed, one of the women, and the other of the men. With the beating of the drums, the lines move in rhythm.
