Traditionally, Wangala is the biggest festival of the Garo community. 
Wangala is a post harvest festival, when the Garos give thanks to Misi Saljong 
(also known as Pattigipa Ra∙rongipa), the sun god, for blessing the people with 
a rich harvest. It is celebrated for two to three days - or up to a week - by two or 
three collaborating villages across the season (from September to December), 
with different villages setting different dates for the occasion. With the advent 
of Christianity, Wangala is only celebrated as token attempt to conserve and promote
 the ancient heritage of the Garo tribe and to exhibit the culture and tradition of 
the region. True traditional styles of celebrating Wangala can still be found in a 
few remote "Songsarek" (animistic) villages
