There is a sacred grove for the local deity. People throng every year in the first week of May to offer prayer to the Father during Huikap Ningthou Laiching Kaaba event. The event is celebrated in much pomp and show. Women of Huikap who were married to other parts of the state/country return home during this day to worship the deity.
At the end of the ceremony, a mukna tournament takes place.
Local people offer pig and chicken as a mark of respect to the protector of the village.
