DescriptionMru women performing the Chiasotpoi dance.webm
English: One of the biggest social rites of the Mru people is Chesotpoi. At least one cow or more are sacrificed in devotion to the sacred spirit with the intention of being free from ill or any curse that has been suffered. A full night of dancing and playing ploong takes place and continues onto the next day. After full night of dancing, early in the morning, the cow is killed by a spear. Then its tongue is cut off. The villagers then move to sit on the body of the cow putting a turban on head. Rice beer or alcohol is served during the feast. After cooking the meat and most of the cow all villagers come together and enjoy the feast. There is no fixed time for the ceremony as anybody who affords it can organize it anytime. Guests are allowed to take part.
The videos was taken from Bandorban, a hill district of Bangladesh.
বাংলা: মুরং নারীদের চিয়া-চট-প্লাই নৃত্য বা ম্রো নৃত্যের ভিডিওচিত্র। “চিয়া-ছট-প্লাই” অর্থাৎ গো-হত্যা উৎসব। গো-হত্যাকে ধর্মীয় অনুষঙ্গ হিসাবেই পালন করা হয়। প্রতিবছর জুমের ফসল ঘরে তোলার আগে মুরুং সম্প্রদায় মহাধুমধামের সাথে এ উৎসব করে। এছাড়া এ সম্প্রদায়ের পরিবারে কারো অসুখ বিসুখ হলে তারা রোগ বালাই থেকে পরিত্রাণ পাওয়ার উদ্দেশ্যে ‘চিয়া-চট-প্লাই’ পালনের মানত করে থাকন।
