Saama Chakeba is a Hindu festival, originating from the Mithila and Bhojpuri[1][2] region of the Indian subcontinent.[3][4][5] It is a festival of unity. It is celebrated in November and commences when birds begin their migration from the Himalayas down towards the plains of India. According to the Hindustan Times, the festival, which includes folk theater and song, celebrates the love between brothers and sisters and is based on a legend recounted in the Puranas. It is celebrated by Maithilis, Bhojpuriyas and Tharu people of India and Nepal.[6]
