What is Phool Dei?
Phool Dei is a cherished festival celebrated with great enthusiasm across the hills of Garhwal and Kumaon in Uttarakhand, marking the arrival of spring. It falls on the first day of the Chaitra month in the Hindu calendar, which typically coincides with mid-March. During this festival, young girls, adorned in traditional attire, visit homes and bless families with offerings of flour, jaggery, and curd, often shaped into colorful floral designs.
The festival is not only a time of joy but also a celebration of the abundance of nature. As the flowers begin to bloom, the community comes together to honor the earth’s fertility, pray for a bountiful harvest, and express gratitude for the cycles of nature.
