In Arunachal Pradesh, the main festival of the Apatani community Dree is being celebrated throughout the state with traditional fervor. During Dree festival, a few rites are performed to worship and appease Gods and Goddesses, who protect the crops, and ensure well-being. After observing Dree, seven days taboo period is strictly observed in every village. During this period, people are not allowed to work in the field or garden nor they can bring green vegetables and fire woods. It is believed that if the observance of these taboos is violated the performance at the time of festival may not be successful.
