Haryana Bangar & Bagar · Upper Indus–Gangetic Plain
त्योहार
| त्योहार | कब | क्या होता है |
|---|---|---|
| Teej | Sawan, third day of the bright fortnight (July–August) | Swings hung from trees and beams, green bangles and mehndi, and married daughters fetched back to their natal village for the day. Because village exogamy places most women a long way from home, Teej is functionally the region's annual homecoming, and its songs are almost entirely about that journey. |
| Gugga Naumi | Ninth day of the dark fortnight of Bhadrapada (August–September) | The festival of Gugga, also called Zahar Pir, a snake-god venerated by Hindus and Muslims alike. A chhari — a tall decorated pole topped with peacock feathers — is carried between villages by Jogi singers with been and damru, and offerings of sewian and churma are made at village marhis. It is the clearest surviving example of a cult on this plain that never divided along religious lines. |
| Sanjhi | The sixteen days of Pitr Paksha, ending at Dussehra (September–October) | Unmarried girls model a female figure in clay and cow dung on the courtyard wall, add an ornament or a limb each evening, sing to her nightly, and on the last day carry her to a pond and immerse her. The Braj tradition of the same name is a stencil-and-powder floor art; here it is relief modelling on a wall, made by girls, for girls, and destroyed at the end. |
| Gita Jayanti Mahotsav, Kurukshetra | Shukla Ekadashi of Margashirsha (November–December) | A multi-day observance at Brahma Sarovar and Jyotisar marking the delivery of the Bhagavad Gita, with recitation, a lamp-lighting on the sarovar steps, and a crafts and folk-performance ground attached. It has been expanded into an international festival by the state in the last decade. |
| Surajkund International Crafts Mela | The first half of February | A crafts fair held on the ground beside the Surajkund reservoir since the late 1980s, built as a permanent village of brick huts, with a rotating theme state and a partner country. It is the largest crafts market in north India and the single easiest place to see the region's own crafts beside everyone else's. |
| Somvati Amavasya and eclipse bathing at Kurukshetra | Solar eclipse dates and Monday new moons | Bathing at Brahma Sarovar and Sannihit Sarovar during a solar eclipse is held to carry exceptional merit, and a single eclipse can bring several lakh people to the tanks within a few hours. The town's entire pilgrimage infrastructure is built for these dates rather than for a fixed annual festival. |
| Masani Devi Mela, Gurugram | Chaitra and Ashwin Navratri | A large fair at the Sheetla Mata shrine, drawing pilgrims from across the southern tract and from Delhi. The goddess is invoked against pox and fever, and the offerings reflect it. |
| Pehowa fair and horse market | Chaitra Chaudas (March–April) | Pind-daan for the dead at the Saraswati ghats, held alongside one of north India's older horse and cattle markets — a fair where rites for the dead and livestock trading have run in parallel for centuries. |
| Baisakhi and the harvest fairs | Mid-April | The wheat harvest, marked with dangals, akhara competitions and cattle fairs across the Bangar. The wrestling calendar effectively opens here. |
| Gangaur in the Bagar | Chaitra (March–April) | Unmarried and newly married women carry images of Gauri in procession over sixteen days. It is a Rajasthani observance that stops almost exactly where the sand stops, which makes it a useful marker of the Bagar's cultural edge. |
