Uttarakhand painted in the color of Fuldei

Uttarakhand is emerging as the capital of tourism since last few years. Uttarakhand is also known as the land of God, hence religious tourism has increased in this state. In addition, the nature here is also enticing the tourists. Moreover, many festivals in Uttarakhand are also celebrated in such a way that a large number of tourists go to Uttarakhand for that. One such festival is the Fuldei festival. Flower festival of course. (Uttarakhand)

From this month, flowers start appearing in Uttarakhand. The hills here are filled with colorful flowers. The blooming of these flowers is celebrated with festivals called Fuldei. The solstice of Chaitra month started from 14th March. In Garhwal-Kumaon this Fuldei festival is celebrated on the Sankrti month of Chaitra. It is a children's festival in which children go from house to house and spread flowers on the threshold. They also put rice and flowers inside the house. This is believed to bring prosperity to the house. Local songs are also sung along with it. Since last few years this festival has also been linked with tourism and this time tourism has increased in Uttarakhand to a large extent.  

Uttarakhand is known for its natural beauty. Everything here is connected with nature. Also the festivals here are celebrated with nature. One such festival is Fuldei festival. Various flowers start blooming in this area from Chaitra month. Fuldei festival is celebrated to understand their importance, and to pass this legacy to the next generation. At this time, the children pick the flowers in the area with their hands. Know their fragrance and their usefulness. After that they celebrate this festival by decorating their houses beautifully.(Uttarakhand)

Fuldei is celebrated every year from the solstice of Chaitra month. The children of the rural areas of Rudraprayag are eagerly waiting for this. This festival starts from early morning. Maths , temples and houses are decorated early in the morning. Singing spring songs then children walk around the villages. Eight days belong to these children. It is considered to herald the arrival of spring. Instead of placing flowers on the door of the house , children are traditionally given sweets made from amaranth. 


 On the eighth day the children prepare a mass feast by collecting all the household food and puja materials. After this, the children consume the food themselves only after offering food to Ghogha deity. This inculcates a sense of unity in children from childhood. Their relationship was strong. Although nature is beautiful in areas like Uttarakhand, its monstrous form is also seen here. On such occasions, the support of the citizens of our village is necessary. That is why it is said that the relationship between them should be strong. Festivals like Fuldei strengthen bonds between children right from childhood.  

Ghogha deity holds importance in Fuldei festival. For this, children bring stones from the mountains in their area and worship it. Behind it is the message of connecting with nature. The festival started from Uttarakhand Chief Minister Dhami's house. From last year Uttarakhand has started celebrating this Fuldei festival as Balotsav. (Uttarakhand)

Considering the growing importance of Yasana and its increased importance in terms of tourism, the state government has formed a special committee. The solar calendar is still used in the hilly areas of Uttarakhand. Hence, the first day of Hindu New Year in this region starts from Pisces Sankranti i.e. Phul Dei. He is also welcomed on this occasion. Spring arrives in the month of Chaitra. Children in the household are dressed in traditional costumes to welcome the New Year. They are taught local songs. (Uttarakhand)
