Aoleang Monyu

 Aoleang Monyu is the festival of Konyak Naga.This may also be 

called as festival of spring.It is the greatest of all the festivals that 

Konyak Naga observes.This Aoleang festival is as old as the people of 

Konyak are. It has been observing since the time immemorial. Konyak 

Aoleang is observed from 1st-6th April every year. 

     In fact, Aoleang festival is supposed to be observed on lunar day, i.e. 

on full moon day after March 25, but Konyak people of different areas 

used to celebrate the festival on different days according to their 

suitability and reading of the moon from their own conveniences.Some 

ranges observed it in the month of May and some in April and so 

on.Observing this inconvenience that caused the people, especially the 

students and employers because of observing the festival on different 

days, Konyak students’ union had fixed the uniform days from 1st-6th 

April in early 50s as the days of Konyak Aoleang and accordingly Govt.of 

Nagaland has recognised April first week as Konyak Aoleang days.
