Itanagar, Dec 30: Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt. General K.T. Parnaik, (Retd.), has extended warm greetings and best wishes to the people of the State, particularly the Donyi Polo faith believers, on the special occasion of Donyi Polo Day. He wished that the day would inspire collective resolve to preserve, protect, and proudly promote our age-old cultural practices and traditions, which form the soul of our indigenous identity.
In his message, the Governor said that Arunachal Pradesh is truly blessed with a rich mosaic of indigenous faiths and cultures, among which the legacy of the Abo Tani people holds a special place. Several tribes of the State regard themselves as the sons and daughters of Abo Tani, their revered ancestral forebear, and are united by a shared lineage, customs, and vibrant oral traditions. Every ritual and tradition reflects a deep acknowledgment of the blessings and influence of nature, nurturing peaceful coexistence and respect for the environment. Deeply rooted in reverence for nature, community harmony, and strong moral values, the Donyi Polo faith embodies a way of life that emphasizes balance, resilience, and unity, he said, while hoping that the occasion inspires both elders and youth to safeguard and carry forward this priceless cultural heritage for generations to come.
On this significant day, I join the people of Arunachal Pradesh in offering our prayers for peace, progress, and harmonious coexistence among all communities of our State, the Governor said in his message.
