Mage Parab is the principal festival celebrated among the Ho people of eastern India, and is also celebrated by the Munda people. It is not celebrated by any other Munda-speaking peoples like Juang, Gadab and is much less prominent to the Mundas than to the Hos.^[1] It is held in the month of Mage ponai in honor of the deity Singbonga who, in the Ho creation myth, created Luku Kola, the first man on Earth.^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5] It was first described in 1912 by Indian anthropologist Rai Bahadur Sarat Chandra Roy in his The Mundas and their Country.^[6]
