फूलदेई (उत्तराखंड)

Uttarakhand's unique new year festival where young girls collect wildflowers at dawn and place them on every doorstep in the village with songs, receiving sweets and grains in return. Dei (daughter/girl) is celebrated as spring's messenger. The threshold (dehl) flower decoration and its associated songs are documented by the Garhwali folk tradition. Marks the beginning of the Pahadi agricultural calendar.
