Description:
Kids have special role in this. Kids collect dry branches hay-straw and grass and create a mannequin with a huge dry tree cut and buried a little in ground (on lines of scare-crows that we have in crop fields) . During evening kids burn this mannequin just like bonfire. As soon as the fire is ignited everyone starts moving around the fire in circles hitting the mannequin with wooden sticks and singing. Once the mannequin is completely burnt, everyone jumps over it from one side to another and share the first crop of cucumbers with each other and eat them together. \nThis festival has significance in terms of celebrating the new crop and worshiping cattle who help a lot in establishing good crop
