Sarhul is a spring festival in the Indian state of Jharkhand. It is a symbol of commencement of the new year. The festival is celebrated for three days, from the 3rd day of Chaitra month in Sukla Paksh to Chaitra Purnima. In the festival, the village priest Pahan offers sacrifice of flowers, fruit, vermilion, rooster and tapan (liquor) in Sarna to Sun, village deity and ancestor for good fortune of the village. Then the locals dance holding flowers of the sal tree. [1][2][3] According to the tradition, it also symbolises marriage between the Earth and the Sun.[4] It is an important festival observed by the Kurukh and Sadan.[5] Among Kurukh it is known as Khaddi (lit. 'flower') in Kurukh.
