Explanation:
Pair 1 is correctly matched. It is a traditional spring festival celebrated in Mizoram after the completion of jhum cultivation. It involves music, dance, and cultural performances.
Pair 2 is correctly matched. It is a traditional ballad that commemorates the Battle of Khongjom fought in Manipur against the British in 1891. The ballad narrates the heroic deeds of Manipuri warriors.
