Dree is well known so as to bring a bountiful harvest season, hence, Apatani offers prayers to four Gods they follow – Tamu, Harniang, Metii, and Danyi. This three day long agricultural festival is joyously celebrated with traditional cloths worn by women and children.
Dree pageant is one among the simplest festivals in Arunachal Pradesh, during this feast; delicious and tangy rice and millet beer are served followed by traditional dances and songs performed by the tribe people. Besides, it can be considered an interesting festival of Arunachal because during this festival cucumber is distributed to the guests and participants; this symbolizes the sacredness of vegetables and perhaps for fruitful agriculture. Throughout the 3 day pageant games and sports are actively partaken and this results as a supply of diversion.
