This three day long agricultural festival is joyously celebrated with traditional cloths worn by women and children. The Apatanis, who inhabit a tranquil pine clad valley called Ziro at the core of Lower Subansiri District of Arunachal Pradesh, are famous for their unique practice of wet rice cultivation. They are also known for their sustainable agricultural practices and the agricultural cycles govern their everyday lives. The agricultural festival of Dree is the highlight in this cycle. Dree is celebrated in order to bring a bountiful harvest season, hence, Apatani offers prayers to four Gods they follow - Tamu, Harniang, Metii, and Danyi.
