Origin and History
Mim Kut is regarded as the oldest festival of the Zo People, it was a ceremony organized for the dead. Feasting is a part of it but there is hardly any fun and gaiety in it. Mim means Job's tears (Coix lacryma-jobi), also known as adlay or adlay millet which was introduced much later). It was held in memory of the deceased.
