This is a Hindu festival that marks the harvest season and the beginning of the sun's slow journey to the Tropic of Cancer. Families and friends exchange sesame seeds promising a more loving relationship. Mostly celebrated by Gujaratis and Marathis, women perform the Haldi Kumkum ritual - smearing the forehead with turmeric and saffron - as an act of female bonding.
