Doorstep Decoration: Early in the morning, children go from house to house carrying wicker baskets filled with flowers, rice, and jaggery.
The Offering: They sprinkle flowers and rice on the doorsteps (the Dei) of their neighbors while singing traditional folk songs.
The Prayer: The act is believed to bring good luck, prosperity, and a "flowering" of happiness to every household in the village.

घुघुतिया (Ghughutiya) की शुभकामनायें🚴🌿

घुघुतिया (Ghughutiya), जिसे कुमाऊं में

काले कौवा के नाम से भी जाना जाता है, मुख्य रूप से मकर संक्रांति के अवसर पर मनाया जाता है। इसके मनाये जाने के मुख्य कारण निम्नलिखित हैं:

किंवदंती और राजा कल्याण चंद: प्रचलित कथा के अनुसार, कुमाऊं के राजा कल्याण चंद के पुत्र 'निर्भय चंद' (जिन्हें प्यार से घुघुति कहा जाता था) की जान कौवों ने बचाई थी. कौवों के प्रति आभार व्यक्त करने के लिए, रानी ने 'घुघुते' (मीठे पकवान) बनाकर कौवों को खिलाने की परंपरा शुरू की.

ऋतु परिवर्तन: यह पर्व पौष महीने की समाप्ति और माघ की शुरुआत का प्रतीक है, जब सूर्य उत्तरायण में प्रवेश करता है और दिनों की लंबाई बढ़ने लगती है .

प्रवासी पक्षियों का आगमन: यह समय पहाड़ों में कौवों और अन्य पक्षियों के आगमन का भी होता है। बच्चों द्वारा कौवों को बुलाना प्रकृति और पक्षियों के प्रति प्रेम का संदेश देता है.

सांस्कृतिक परंपरा: इस दिन आटे और गुड़ से 'घुघुते' बनाए जाते हैं, जिन्हें माला में पिरोकर बच्चे गले में पहनते हैं और सुबह कौवों को "काले कौवा काले, घुघुति माला खा ले" कहकर बुलाते हैं.

Ghughutiya, also known as Kale Kauwa in Kumaon, is primarily celebrated on the occasion of Makar Sankranti. The main reasons for its celebration are as follows:

Legend and King Kalyan Chand: According to popular legend, the life of King Kalyan Chand of Kumaon's son, Nirbhay Chand (affectionately called Ghughuti), was saved by crows.
To express gratitude to the crows, the queen started the tradition of making 'Ghughute' (sweet dishes) and feeding them to the crows.

Seasonal Change: This festival marks the end of the Paush month and the beginning of Magh, when the sun enters Uttarayan and the days begin to lengthen.

Arrival of Migratory Birds: This time also coincides with the arrival of crows and other birds in the mountains. Children calling out to the crows conveys a message of love for nature and birds.

Cultural Tradition: On this day, 'Ghughute' are made from flour and jaggery, which are strung together into garlands. Children wear these garlands around their necks and call out to the crows in the morning, saying, "Kale Kauwa Kale, Ghughuti Mala Kha Le" (Black crow, black crow, eat the Ghughuti garland).
