Rokkime is the Garo goddess of rice, honoured under the ritual name Mima Kiri Rokkime, the 'great mother' of the paddy. The Achik cultivators regard the paddy plant itself as her embodiment, and at the Agalmaka festival (also called Rokkime Ringama), held in spring once the hill-plots have been burnt, the village priest calls upon the goddess to descend and dwell in the fields together with the sun-giver Misi Saljong so that the crop may flourish. She is a distinct, named agricultural mother-goddess of the Garo pantheon, complementary to but separate from the crop-protector Chorabudi and the sun-deity Saljong.
