Nuakhai Juhar


Nuakhai is a major festival of Odisha. Nuakhai is a festival observed by the mass over the entire western Odisha, particularly Sambalpuri cultural area. Nuakhai is observed welcoming the new rice-paddy of the season. 

Hindu philosophy and pantheism believes Arnna to be Brahma. Again Arnna is attributed to Goddesses Laxmi, hence on the day of Nuakhai Laxmi Puja is observed as well.
