==Festivals and observances==
The most significant annual event is the Foundation Day, commonly known as ''Karcho'' or ''Lokhimon Karcho'', held on or around 4–5 February to mark the origin of the movement in 1959 under Kurusar Lokhon Engti Hensek. The observance typically lasts several days and includes congregational prayer, the recitation of hymns connected to the founder, ritual cleaning and renewal of the prayer houses, and large community feasts.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://thehillstimes.in/assam/lokhimon-karcho-observed-karbi-anglong-6-feb-2025 |title=Karbi Anglong Celebrates Lokhimon Karcho |date=6 February 2025 |access-date=22 November 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://thehillstimes.in/assam/66th-lokhimon-karcho-celebration |title=66th Lokhimon Karcho Celebration |date=4 February 2024 |access-date=22 November 2025}}</ref> Some of these observances take place at Dolamara Bokaram Tokbi village, which is closely associated with the early development of the movement and functions as one of its symbolic centres.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.facebook.com/TheDrongoExpress/posts/63rd-foundation-day-of-hemphu-lokhimon-religion-celebrated-across-karbi-anglongc/242961310711617/ |title=63rd Foundation Day of Hemphu Lokhimon Religion Celebrated Across Karbi Anglong |access-date=22 November 2025}}</ref>

Besides fixed commemorations, Lokhimon congregations regularly conduct community feasts and cultural gatherings, often featuring musical and dramatic performances that express the history and teachings of the movement. In many congregations these occasions have taken the place of earlier animal-sacrifice rituals, in line with the reformist and devotional ethos emphasised within Lokhimon.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://thehillstimes.in/assam/lokhimon-adhorom-observes-76th-kuru-chingduk |title=Lokhimon Adhorom Observes 76th Kuru Chingduk |date=18 June 2022 |access-date=22 November 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last=Bhattacharjee |first=Swapan |title=Tradition and Contemporary Changes in the Religious Belief of the Karbi People in Karbi Anglong, Assam |journal=Anthropologist |year=2020 |volume=40 |issue=1–3 |pages=16–33 |doi=10.31901/24566802.2020/40.1-3.2054|doi-access=free }}</ref>

Although Lokhimon has developed its own ritual calendar, several observances occur in proximity to cycles in the wider Karbi religious calendar; for example, Karcho frequently follows the traditional Karbi festival Rongker, reinforcing symbolism of renewal and community identity.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://assamtribune.com/rongker-58th-hemphu-lokhimon-karcho-festivals-celebrated/ |title=Rongker, 58th Hemphu Lokhimon Karcho Festival Celebrated |date=14 September 2010 |access-date=22 November 2025}}</ref>
