Sama Chakeva
It is during the winter season that the birds from the Himalayas migrate towards the plains. With the arrival of these colourful birds, celebration of sama-chakeva starts.
This is a festival especially celebrated in Mithila. Mithilanchal dedicates this festival to the celebration of the brother and sister relationship. It represents the tradition of this land as well as the art of making idols. This festival starts with the welcoming of the pair of birds sama-chakeva. Girls make clay idols of various birds and decorate them in their own traditional ways. Various rituals are performed and the festival joyfully ends with the 'vidai' of Sama and with a wish that these birds return to this land the next year.
