Rih-ngai and Mayasvi festivals of the Zeliangrong and the Tsou

Male’s sacred building:
Kuba is a sacred building of males; it can be seen in the patriarchy-oriented Tsou village and it is surrounded by local houses. It is always built high above ground so that a constant fire which symbolizes the Tsou’s everlasting flourishing and passion be burnt in the center of the ground floor. Women are not allowed to enter and touch the Kuba. All important decisions are taken by a conjoint meeting of village males in the Kuba. Traditionally, old men of the tribe clean and repair the roof of the Kuba with the assistance of young men prior to Mayasvi festival. This does serve as a chance to pass age-old traditions as well as presenting a seldom found bonding opportunity between generations. Unlike the Tsous, there is no separate building as meeting place of male members of the Zeliangrong.
