In Khipmang, there are so many other small worship and eggs, chicken, pig, etc. are offered, which depends on the promise of the householder
It is the worship of the Khipmang. The Khipmang is done in various occasions but it is such a occasion, which is concerned with the correction of the god. It is called in Mang sudharne. If there is any fault, it is corrected by worshipping. It is not regular worship.
