Sangrai dance is associated with which tribe/sub-tribe of Tripura?

Concept

A folk dance is identified by the specific community whose festival and cultural life it belongs to. To answer such a question, link the named dance to the festival it is performed in and to the tribe that celebrates that festival, rather than guessing from any tribe of the region.

Application

Sangrai is the New Year / spring festival of the Mog community of Tripura (the same Theravada-Buddhist tradition known as Sangken among related groups). The Sangrai dance is performed by Mog girls as part of this festival, so the dance is identified with the Mog tribe.

Contrast

The other names are all genuine communities of Tripura, but none of them owns the Sangrai festival or its dance:

• Halam — a Kuki-related group known for its own clan culture, not for Sangrai.

• Lushai (Mizo) — associated with festivals and dances such as Cheraw (bamboo dance), not Sangrai.

• Chakma — a Buddhist community with its own Bizu festival, distinct from Sangrai.
