Summary: The most elaborate as well as important socio-religious ceremony observed by the Karbis is death ceremony. But unfortunately this has been called Chomangkan which liter ally means a Khasi dance. In this book an attempt has been made by me to show whether there is any justification in calling this ceremony Chomangkan'. The method used by me for collection of data was participant observation. All efforts have been made by me to present the rituals during the four days' observance of this festival in their details and proper perspective.
