Reviving the Sukaan Buru Kite Festival
Over time, many tribal festivals, including Sukaan Buru, have faded into obscurity. Anupam Purty, along with Gunjal Ikir Munda and Rumbul, undertook the initiative to revive this diminishing festival, which met with resounding success. Their efforts not only brought back the festival itself but also revitalized the cultural traditions cherished by the tribals.
