Kandali Festival

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kandali Festival is a festival held by the Rung tribe of the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand state in India.[1] This festival coincides with the blooming of the Kandali plant, which flowers once every twelve years. It is held in the Chaundas Valley between August and October. It celebrates the defeat of Zorawar Singh's army, which attacked this area from Ladakh in 1841.
