त्योहार
| त्योहार | कब | क्या होता है |
|---|---|---|
| Hareli | Sawan Amavasya, July–August | The first festival of the Chhattisgarhi year. Ploughs, yokes and tools are washed, marked and worshipped; neem branches go up at the door; cattle are given a medicinal preparation; and children take to bamboo gedi stilts for the rest of the monsoon. |
| Pola | Bhadrapada Amavasya, August–September | The bullocks' day off. Working animals are bathed, painted and paraded, and children are given clay bulls and a small clay grinding toy — a festival that gives the animals a holiday and the children a scale model of the adult economy. |
| Bhojli | Bhadon, August | Wheat or barley is sprouted in baskets in a dark room for nine days, carried in procession with singing and immersed. Girls exchange the leaves and become ritual friends, addressing each other as bhojli thereafter instead of by name. |
| Navakhani | Bhadrapada, August–September | The new rice is offered to the household and village deities before anyone eats it. In a region with this many varieties, it also fixes the date on which each one is deemed to have arrived. |
| Teeja | Bhadrapada Tritiya, August–September | Married women return to their parents' village to keep a day-long waterless fast, eating the karu bhat meal the night before. The return journey is as much the point as the fast, and the roads fill with it. |
| Dev Uthni Ekadashi | Kartik Shukla Ekadashi, October–November | The gods wake, the tulsi is married, and the Raut Nacha processions go through the villages with the gadwa baja. It is the pivot of the region's festival year. |
| Gaura-Gaura | Diwali night | Clay images of Shiva and Parvati are married through the night and immersed at dawn, with drumming and possession in the middle of it. Kept jointly by Gond and Chhattisgarhi households. |
| Chherchhera | Pausha Purnima, January | Children and young people go door to door asking for grain from the harvest just brought in, and every household gives. It redistributes a share of the crop through the village in a single day. |
| Rajim Maghi Punni Mela | Magh Purnima to Mahashivratri, February–March | Several weeks of fair on the dry riverbed at the confluence, with bathing, temple visits and a full market. The riverbed is the venue precisely because it is empty at that time of year. |
| Giroudpuri Mela | Magh Purnima, February | The Satnami gathering at Guru Ghasidas's birthplace, with Panthi companies performing continuously and the jaitkhamb at the centre of it. |
| Champaran Mela | Magh, January–February | Held at Champajhar near Rajim, at the birthplace of Vallabhacharya, and drawing Pushtimarg pilgrims from well outside the region. |
| Madai | November–February | Village fairs held in rotation through the dry months, with the neighbouring villages' deities carried in to visit. Strongest towards the southern and western margins. |
