Answer:

Tusu Festival (Tusu Parab) is a prominent folk harvest festival celebrated in the Chota Nagpur plateau region, primarily across the tribal belt of Jharkhand, West Bengal, and Odisha.
In Jharkhand, the primary geographic focus of this festival spans the area between Bundu, Tamar, and Raidih.
It is celebrated during the winter season on the last day of the Hindu month of Poush, coinciding with Makar Sankranti.

The festival is dedicated to the worship of Goddess Tusu, who represents agricultural prosperity, wealth, and the joy of crop harvesting.
It is primarily celebrated by unmarried girls and women from various agrarian and tribal communities, including the Kudmi community.
Young girls decorate wooden or bamboo frames known as Chaudal using colorful paper and flowers, which are later immersed in nearby rivers as part of the ritual.
The festival is noted for its rich tradition of folk music, where women sing traditional Tusu songs reflecting local life and agrarian customs.

Sarhul: Worshipping the Sal tree (abode of Goddess Sarna) to mark the spring season.
