The last year 2020, affected the kut celebration because of a global pandemic. It was on 1st November 2020, when the world was suffering. This year, the situation is almost under control. Same as last year, Chavang kut will celebrate on 1st November with all the essentials.

So this year, it may be a huge celebration of Chavang kut in Manipur. People suffered a lot last year, so they can feel a double increase in the value of joy by celebration.
