Gangtok14th Dec: CM PS Tamang attended the State-level Sakewa celebration at Pabyuik Naitam, under the Shyari Constituency, held with the blessings of Paruhang and Sumnima,deities.
CM Tamang has described in ‘Sakewa, an auspicious occasion and celebration of our deep bond with nature, reverence for our ancestors, and respect for the cycle of life. Through sacred rituals and the vibrant Sili dance, it reminds us that we are not masters of nature, but its children, and calls upon us to live in harmony with the Earth. At a time of global environmental challenges, Sakewa’s message of sustainable living is more relevant than ever.’
Today, we gather not as separate communities, but as one people, the children of one land, Sikkim. Our festivals reflect our unity, mutual respect, and the strength found in our diversity. Sikkim is strong because its people have chosen trust over division and harmony over discord.
‘On this auspicious occasion, I acknowledge with deep gratitude the invaluable contributions of the Rai community to Sikkim’s peace, culture, and development. I commend Akhil Kirat Rai Sangh Sikkim (AKRS)and all the cultural institutions of the Rai community for preserving the sacred Mundum, language, rituals, and traditions.
On this holy occasion of Sakewa, let us stand together in the spirit of harmony and work together to build a peaceful, progressive, and united Sikkim’,said CM.
CM has extended heartfelt congratulations to Akhil Kirant Rai Sangh (AKRS), the entire Rai community, and the people of Shyari for the successful organization and dignified celebration of sacred Sakewa festival.
