Married women visit their parental homes and partake in a feast (Meitei: chakkouba) with their brothers and other family members. After the feast, they are given gifts by their brothers, fathers, uncles, and other male family members.^{[citation needed]} The women also take gifts to their families.

Though originally celebrated by the Meitei people, Ningol Chakkouba is now celebrated across Manipur and in other regions of Manipuri settlement by a number of ethnic groups.^{[citation needed] [10]}
