“Harela” comes from the word “Hariyala”, which means “green day.”
Harela is an auspicious Hindu festival celebrated in the Kumauon region of Uttarakhand and some areas of Himachal Pradesh. It is a festival of peace, prosperity and greenery, because people pray for the formal harvesting and prosperity, coaling with formal rearing of Shiva and Parvati’s marriage.
