The Garo people believe that if they rely on the god of crops 'Mishi Saljong', the crop has better yields.

'Wangala' or harvest festival is celebrated by the Garos to pay tribute to this deity for the new crop and to ask permission to consume it.

The religious and cultural festival of the Garo community was celebrated in a festive atmosphere at Lalmatia Housing Society School and College ground in the capital today.
