Aoleang Festival
Nagaland (Apr 1-6)
Apart from the charming weather and untouched natural beauty, one of the best reasons to visit Mon in Nagaland during the spring season is the Aoleang Festival of the Konyak tribe. The festival celebrates the onset of spring after sowing seeds in new fields. The first three days are associated with traditional weaving and brewing the famous rice beer of Nagaland, while the fourth day sees tribal dance performances and sacrificial rituals.
Urs Festival
Ajmer (April 14–24)
Urs is held every year in the memory of Saint Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti in the holy city of Ajmer. Chisti, the founder of the Chishti order of fakirs in India, came from Persia. During these six religious days, pilgrims gather and offer prayers on the dargah for prosperity and peace in their lives. Devotees offer jasmine and rose flowers, sandalwood, perfume and other offerings called ‘Nazrana’ on the dargah. Famous qawwals descend during the fest to sing at the holy shrine in remembrance of Khwaja. During nights ‘Mehfil Khana’ gets packed by the visitors to enjoy religious assemblies or mehfils.
Myoko Festival in Arunachal Pradesh is an annual springtime fest of the Apatani tribe in the Ziro district. It’s conducted for purification, prosperity and fertility.
