The Mim Kut is a festival of the Zo People, of India and Burma. It is usually celebrated during the months of August and September, job's tears and millets.[1]
Mim Kut is regarded as the oldest festival of the Zo People, it was a ceremony organized for the dead.[2] Feasting is a part of it but there is hardly any fun and gaiety in it. Mim means Job's tears (Coix lacryma-jobi), also known as adlay or adlay millet which was introduced much later). It was held in memory of the deceased.[3]
