The annual festival of Shagongbahar in March is a festival to meet the beginning of the year, which is three days. At that time, every household cleaned the dust and sprinkled beautiful patterns with flour on the wall to show blessings. On this day, people are leading the “Xiao Gong” (leader of the festival) to congratulate all families and wish a good harvest for the next year.

After the festival, people began to prepare for spring farming.
Parikh day is the first two days of August of the Islamic calendar every year. Before the festival, the family made a “Kawu day” straw torch (wrapped with cotton, and coated with butter); in the evening of the festival, each family lit two homemade small butter candles, prayed together before the candle, and prayed for heaven and fortune.
