Women performing “Laa khanganui” (virgin dance). Only virgin women participate in “Laa khanganui”. It was a sacred declaration of virginity. Any girl who refused to participate at the “laa khanganue” is suspected of being pregnant and heavy punishment is meted out to her. If the girl missed uniform footsteps, falls down on the ground or one of the ornaments falls off from her body, it is considered that the morality of the girl is not above reproach, Heavy fine is imposed on such girl by the village.
