The first day of January brings new hopes and renewed energy. Worldwide celebrations and hard partying set the scene for the new year.

New Year for them falls in mid-April during Sajibu, the first month of the Manipuri lunar calendar. The New Year is warmly welcomed with widespread celebration of the Cheiraoba Festival
The exact day of Cheiraoba is debatable. Followers of Sanamahi religion celebrate Cheiraoba on nongma paanba or the first day of the Sajibu month. Vaishnavites celebrate Goura Cheiraoba on Pohila Baisaakh.
Markets bustle with shoppers on the eve of Cheiraoba.
Houses are thoroughly cleaned with special focus on the kitchen.
