The Biate have many kinds of festivals; Nulding Kut, Pamchar Kut, Lebang Kut, Favang Kut etc.
for different occasion.
They no longer practise or observe those festivals except ‘Nulding Kut'.
The word Nulding means renewal of life and Kut indicates a festival.
Thus, Nulding Kut literally means the Festival of the Renewal of Life.
Nulding Kut is observed every year on 11 January with singing, dancing, and traditional games—after the Priest (Thiampu) pray to Chung Pathian to bless them in every sphere of life.
Apart from these, many community events are organized on this day where Biates from every age group clothing themselves in colourful traditional attires assemble to celebrate the festival.
Various dances include, Dar lâm, Sikpui-Zollâm, Buantum lâm, Lampalak, Kolrikhek lâm, Rikifachoi, Ar-ek inuai lâm, Mebur lâm, Sul-ribum lâm, Tuipui lenthluk, Chichoi-lam, Parton lâm, Tuihol Sirphaia  Chitu-a lâm, and Salu aih-lâm.
The year is  divided into four main seasons, Khothral-Spring, Fur-Summer, Favang-Autumn, Phalbi-Winter.
