The Dumba festival was the main traditional event of Wa.
It was typically held in late September to correspond with the harvest.
The highlight of the year was a ceremony in which the Wa-na stepped over a small cow lying on the ground.
According to traditional belief, if any part of the chief or his clothing touched the cow, he would probably die within the year.
If on the other hand he stepped over the cow successfully, he was guaranteed a successful coming year.
