Rajini Gabra starts with ‘Kunang’ or the village headman propitiating the family deity by closing the village gate on the Puja day. In the same night the function called 'Harini Gabra' takes place where the presiding deity is worshipped for the protection and welfare of the people.

Most noteworthy feature of the festival is that during the festive occasion outsiders are not allowed to enter the village after closing the gates.
