Phuldei festival is one of the major festivals of Uttarakhand, and it is directly related to nature. This festival of Phuldei, also known as Phool Sankranti, is celebrated since centuries ago to save the environment. This was a campaign, through which trees, plants, rivers and flowers can be saved in the mountains, so that future generations do not have to face the troubles caused by natural calamities.

On the day of Phuldei, girls and children wake up early in the morning to collect wild flowers like Phunli, Buransh, Basing and Kachnar. These flowers are decorated in ringal (wooden resembling bamboo) baskets. Keeping jaggery, rice and coconut along with flowers and leaves in the basket, the children leave for their village and locality. By putting these flowers and rice at the door of the village house, that is, the main gate, the girls pray for the prosperity of that house. During this a song is also sung- uttarakhand festival
There was a Vankanya, whose name was Funli. Fuly lived in the forest. The trees, plants and animals of the forest were his family as well as friends. Because of the fuel, there was greenery in the forest and the mountains, happiness. One day a prince from a distant land came to the forest. Funly fell in love with the prince. At the behest of the prince, Funeli married him and left the mountains and went to the palace with him

As a child, we also used to decorate the basket of flowers like this and roam from house to house in the village. There were also small earrings of wheat and barley in this basket.From the house on which we would put flowers, we would get to eat brass coins, jaggery, rice and sai with blessings and our faces would blossom. Perhaps that is why the festival of children is called Phuldei, which lasts till Baishakh Sankranti. Even today, in far-flung villages, daughters sing flowers on the threshold of neighbors every day at dusk, ‘Fuldei-Phuldei Phool Sangrand, Sufal.
