Sarhul festival - popular tribal festival celebrating New Year across the Jharkhand region

One of the most popular tribal festivals celebrated across the Jharkhand region, Sarhul festival marks the beginning of New Year. It is celebrated by the Oraon, the Munda and the Ho tribes, of the Jharkhand. Celebrated every year in the first month of the Hindu calendar, on the third day of the moon or the fortnight of 'Chaitra', Sarhul marks the advent of the spring season or “Phaagun”.

Sarhul means worship of trees. Being close to nature, these tribes start the Sarhul festival with the worship of trees and other elements of nature. It is seen that Sarhul festival marks the beginning of New Year for thesetribes because it is only after this festival that the new agricultural activities like sowing of seeds etc. take place, and the tribes bring to use new crops mainly paddy, leaves of the trees, flowers and fruits.The Saal tree holds great importance in the Sarhul festival. Its flowers are used for the worship of the village deity.
