Singpho
The Singphos are Buddhist and are followers of Buddhism.
They celebrate Songken, a Buddhist festival in the month of April. On
the other hand, they have not given up their
shamanistic beliefs. A number of spirits are considered as malevolent
and responsible for causing miseries to human being and therefore such
spirits (Nats) are worshipped on a number of occasions such as Ningsenat,
Multung-Dingna, Cit hungnat, Natkum, Mainat etc by sacrificing bulls,
pigs, cows and chickens.
