Lai Haraoba festival is primarily associated with:

Ancestral deities of Meiteis
Harvest celebrations
Victory commemorations
Coming of spring

The correct answer is: a) Ancestral deities of Meiteis.

Lai Haraoba is a traditional festival of the Meitei people of Manipur, India. It is a celebration of the ancestral deities of the Meitei people, and is a time for people to come together and pay their respects to their ancestors. The festival is held over a period of seven days, and each day is dedicated to a different deity. The main activities of the festival include singing, dancing, and feasting.

Here is a brief explanation of each option:

  • Option b) Harvest celebrations: This is not the correct answer because Lai Haraoba is not primarily associated with harvest celebrations. While the festival does take place during the harvest season, it is not a celebration of the harvest itself.
  • Option c) Victory commemorations: This is also not the correct answer because Lai Haraoba is not primarily associated with victory commemorations. While the festival does have some elements of victory commemoration, this is not its primary focus.
  • Option d) Coming of spring: This is not the correct answer because Lai Haraoba is not primarily associated with the coming of spring. While the festival does take place in the spring, it is not a celebration of the coming of spring itself.
