A number of rituals and ceremonies are involved with the festival.
On the first day, which is known as "Kezie", people sprinkle themselves with a few drops of rice water drawn from a pot named "Zumho".
The water drops are first gathered into leaves, and the chief lady of the house reverently fixes the leaves at the three main corner pillars of the house.
This is followed by the men assembling at the well to bathe.

On the second day, young men of the village assemble in the village to perform ablutions.
They adorn themselves with two new shawls, and then ritualistically sprinkle the holy water on their chests, knees and right arms as a mark of washing away all their sins and ill luck.
When they come back from the well, a sacrificial offer of a cock is performed.

The fourth day of the festival marks the New Year of the Angamis.
It begins with revelry by singing and feasting which lasts for three days.
The young people, both men and unmarried girls with shaven heads gather and sing traditional songs the entire day; the songs relate to past days of valour and bravery.
For the revelry 
of music and dance, the men and women of the community wear traditional dress; while men carry head hunting spades, women carry baskets.

The seventh day is devoted to hunting by the young men of the tribe.
On the eighth day, the ritual involves pulling down of a gate (meaning replacing an old gate that demarcates the property).
This is followed in the next two days by the people of villages formally exchanging visits and offering greetings.
During the period of the ten day festivities, field operations are suspended; in local terminology this act is called Penyû.
Following the completion of the festival period, when men of the villages have cleansed themselves and sought blessings, cultivation, house building and marriages may restart for the year.
