These dances have led to certain forms of dancing which jointly narrate a story, the <i>Tapu</i> (War Dance). In the Tapu, the dancers vigorously re-enact the actions of war, its gory details and the triumphant cries of the warriors. <i>Yakjong</i> is performed in the Aran festival. This is another kind of dance whereby the dancers carry sticks with designs created by removing the barks in certain patterns and then put into the fire for some time, which creates the marked black designs. </p> <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th>Name of festival</th> <th>Dates </th></tr> <tr> <td>Donggin</td> <td>February 2 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Aran or Unying</td> <td>March 7 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Etor (Lutor)</td> <td>May 15 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Solung (Lune)</td> <td>September 1 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Podi Barbii</td> <td>December 5 </td></tr></tbody></table> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Lifestyle">Lifestyle</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Adi_people&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Lifestyle"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Crafts_Museum_New_Delhi_3_Sep_2010-13.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/97/Crafts_Museum_New_Delhi_3_Sep_2010-13.JPG/220px-Crafts_Museum_New_Delhi_3_Sep_2010-13.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/97/Crafts_Museum_New_Delhi_3_Sep_2010-13.JPG/330px-Crafts_Museum_New_Delhi_3_Sep_2010-13.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/97/Crafts_Museum_New_Delhi_3_Sep_2010-13.JPG/440px-Crafts_Museum_New_Delhi_3_Sep_2010-13.JPG 2x" data-file-width="3264" data-file-height="2448" /></a><figcaption>A traditional Adi hut</figcaption></figure> <p>The Adi practice wet <a href="/wiki/Rice" title="Rice">rice</a> cultivation and have a considerable agricultural economy.
