Cheiraoba is the name of Meitei's New year day like the Sol Nal in Korean. The interesting part is that both the societies follow the lunar calender and according to the yearly lunar calender wise they observe the special day.
Cheiraoba is an important traditional festival of the Meiteis held in every house on the month of April or "Sajibu in Manipuri" every year.According to the lunar wise it always fall on the first day in the Month of Sajibu i,e April.
Ceiraoba is one of the biggest abd symbolic festival among the Meitei gropu. In other word it indicates strong mutual relationship between the household family members towards their own identity as well towards society.
