The correct option is C Meghalaya Wangala — Meghalaya, Nagaland and Assam
Also known as the ‘Hundred Drums Festival’, Wangala is celebrated by the people of the Garo tribe from Meghalaya, Nagaland and Assam. Various food items made from rice—a staple in this region—and rice beer (called chubitchi/chubok/chu)are consumed during the festivities.
The date of the Wangala varies from village to village and it takes place between September and December.
Typically, the celebrations are accompanied by dance and music, with people from across the village participating.
