The Podi Barbi Festival serves as the grandest harvest celebration across the communities of Adi, Ramo, Pai-Libo, and Bokar in Arunachal Pradesh as it happens in December, typically for a week, and it makes a thanksgiving offering for a successful harvest and seeks further blessing so that there will be more harvests to come. This festival shows one's respect for Mother Nature as well as the gods and becomes a special time to pay respect to deities, preserve culture, and celebrate tribalism between themselves within Adi culture.

These rituals and sacrifices are at the heart of the Podi Barbi Festival, under the direction of the priest who calls upon the blessing of the gods for the well-being of the community itself and the harvests to follow. It is a spiritual and agricultural ritual that represents the Tribes' oneness with nature. In prayer and offering, the Adi give thanks for their present harvest and ask for blessings for abundant harvests, protection, and success in the coming year.

Traditional dishes are a major part of the Podi Barbi Festival, where they function as sacred offerings to the gods. Usually made from ingredients from the recent harvest, these dishes are a way for the Adi community to thank their crops and livestock. Cooking and eating these dishes strengthen the bonds among villagers while honoring their cultural traditions. The offerings represent a way of showing respect to the deities while foregrounding the Adi people's gratitude for the bountiful harvest season.

Dance is very much a part of the Podi Barbi Festival and is highly celebrated among the Adi people, men and women, as they perform traditional dances depicting mythology and folklore from their heritage. Through dance, the community does not only celebrate, but also informs a new generation in preserving ancient tales and ritual practices. It is a performance dedicated to the ancestral traditions of the Adi Tribe in order for younger generations to feel chords that tie them down to their mythological roots and some common stories of their people.

Traditional games and sports like archery, wrestling, and tug-of-war bring an element of excitement to the Podi Barbi Festival (for they signify the strength and resilience of the Adi people and for their friendly spirit of friendly combat). They provide not just entertainment but reinforce traditional practice, further enhancing cohesiveness and pride as a community. This shows how the festival portrays the spirit of the Adi tribe in love with celebration and connectedness.
