When they fire on
firewood people perform a ritual of “Luto Phalney” in the evening at their roof
or infront of houses. They keep firewood,burn the wood as well as flowers and
Titepati and throw them away by shouting ….. “take away Scabies” some where in villages people plays a locally
famous dance Deauda dance.
When villagers
from different villages fire on their firewood it looks completely different ,
beautiful atmosphere. It is amazing to come and part of this festival.
