The end of the month of Poush arrives with a warm celebration called Poush Parbon, a festival that marks the winter harvest. As the fields are filled with freshly cut rice, homes come alive with the sweet aroma of traditional delicacies made from rice flour, coconut, milk, and date palm syrup. These soft, handmade sweets, known as pithhe, are prepared and shared with joy.

The celebration is also called Poush Sankranti, connecting it to the wider Indian harvest festival of Makar Sankranti. It unfolds over three days—beginning with Bauni, continuing through Sankranti, and ending with Akkhin. It is a time when families gather, food is shared, and the spirit of harvest and gratitude fills every home.
