During the Solung festival celebrated by the Adi tribe of Arunachal Pradesh, which traditional drink is shared to promote social bonding?
Apong
Solung is a major agricultural festival celebrated by the Adi tribe of Arunachal Pradesh, usually in the first week of September, after sowing.
During Solung, the Adi community shares Apong, a traditional rice beer of north-east India, to promote social bonding, hospitality, and community celebration.
Why other options are wrong:
(A) Soma is a Vedic ritual drink, not a tribal Adi beverage.
(C) Thukpa is a Tibetan/Ladakhi noodle soup, not a drink shared during Solung.
(D) Chhang is a fermented barley/millet beverage popular in the Himalayan belt (Nepal, Sikkim, Tibet) but not the customary drink of the Adi tribe's Solung festival.
Hence the correct answer is Apong.
