Today, the wonderful and colourful Gawai celebration is in full swing. The traditional celebration in an Iban longhouse kicked off on May 31 where an offering ceremony called miring would be conducted to honour the spirits. The Dayak people living in the cities would normally travel back to the longhouse for Gawai eve. Most rooms in the longhouse would be decorated with the beautifully-woven 'pua kumbu'. City dwellers that stayed behind in the city during Gawai eve would hold their own similar gatherings in their homes or in the restaurants. - Bernama Photo
