Why We Celebrate Sair Festival.?
The Sair festival (sire festival) is celebrated on the Sakranti of Ashwin month.
In fact, this festival is celebrated to mark the end of the rainy season and the beginning of autumn.
At this time, Kharif crops are ripe and there is time to reap, then celebrate this festival to thank God. Kharif crops are harvested only after a walk.
On this day, part of the crops and seasonal fruits are offered to the "Saree Mata" and also the ash is taken off and offered to the Saree Mata.
