ITANAGAR: Arunachal Pradesh Governor Brig (Retd) Dr BD Mishra on Sunday conveyed his wishes to the people of the State on the auspicious occasion of Moh Mol.

He expressed his hope that the festival would usher in harmony, amity and prosperity in the State.

In his festival message to the people, the Governor said that Moh-Mol, which is an agriculture related festival, signifies the beginning of sowing season.

"This festival showcases the traditional richness and culture of the Tangsa tribe. Our Tangsa brethren have creditably preserved their age-old customs and heritage, coming down from time immemorial and proudly passed on from generation to generation. I am sanguine that these customary celebrations will always inspire the younger generation of the fold to protect, preserve and propagate the traditions and solemnly pass them on to the posterity," he said.

"On this festive occasion, I join my Tangsa brethren in offering our prayers for bumper harvest, peace and amity and upkeep of 'Nong culture'," Mishra said in his message.

In another message to the Puroik community, the Governor conveyed his warm greetings on the festive occasion of Gumkum-Gumpa.

In his message the Governor said that every community in the State maintains its identity by celebrating its traditions and festivals. Each celebration has a noble narrative associated with it, be it arrival of a season, victory of good over evil, sublime episodes connected with various gods and goddesses and many more. These are the manifestations of heritage and culture.

"Puroik community's Gumkum-Gumpa festival connects with the reunion and collective resettlement of the community in consonance with the march of time. I am sanguine that the Puroik community, led by its elders and enthusiastically supported by its youth, will continue to progress with the march of time," he said.

"May this festival of our Puroik brethren further strengthen the spirit of harmony, prosperity, and brotherhood in our society," the Governor added.
