Rongker is an annual winter time festival of merriment observed by the Karbis of Assam. It is also known as Dehal[1] in Dumra Longri i.e. Kamrup Metropolitan district of Assam and Ri-Bhoi district of Meghalaya. It is observed in order to appease the local deities, associated with the welfare of the village and the harvest of crops and also to get rid of all evil happenings.[2]
