  • Si-Donyi Festival is the major festival celebrated among the Tagin tribe of Arunachal Pradesh in North-eastern India. It is celebrated majorly in district headquarter Daporijo, in adjoining town Dumporijo and in Taliha, Siyum areas, also in state capital Itanagar, while in other places also it's being celebrated by Tagin community present there. The festival was first conceptualised in the year 1975 by Late Tatar Uli, who was the main pioneer in inception of Si-Donyi uyu. The other members who bore the responsibilities were Late Tadak Dulom and Popak Bage. The festival was celebrated in the same year under their guidance, and since then, the festival Si-donyi uyu has been celebrated by the Tagin tribe. The first priest who led the ritual was Dubi Nogam. Further the name Si-Donyi was suggested by Shri. Bingsa Kodak.
    Recent developments of the Si-Donyi Festival is that Word 'Hilo' is added to the existed name of the Festival i.e Si-Donyi Hilo. That leading wide controversy among the Tagin tribe of Arunachal Pradesh. Some people of the tribe are opposing the naming Modified version of the Festival. They believe that when Hilo is chanted, individual family/ or clan sacrifice Mithun(Buffalo)to king of the Evil Spirit. And they believe that Si(Earth) and Donyi(Sun) are the Goddess and God of the people and so both Si-Donyi and Hillo have huge different with each other. So they celebrate Si-Donyi is the form of Festival since year 1975. They also strongly emotionally attach with the original founder members of the Festival and believe that history of the Festival may dilute due to renaming. On the other hand TCS (Tagin Cultural Society) and some members of Organizing committee of 2024 Si-Donyi Festival thought that suffixing Hilo word is necessary for the Si-Donyi Festival i.e Si-Donyi Hilo Festival. They believe that Hilo is local language of Festival. Also some of they believed that Hilo means Chief (above all).
    Controversy was going on and first group was planning to celebrate the Festival by name of the existing one separately 2024 Si-Donyi onward.
