Festival of New Life
The Festival of New Life starts in the beginning of Spring when Kasim becomes more subdued by the rising temperatures. It's a celebration that is mostly associated with preparing themed foods, big feasts, and most importantly the survival of the race and birth of its young.
It is officially celebrated for eight days, but decorations are often found well before and after that time as well..

First Week of Spring
The Jehkhun Territories
Daroube
The general populace.
New families commune with each other, cooking contests, feats of strength, singing celebratory songs and dancing.
Usually new parents are given golden egg shaped desserts as an homage to new beginnings and blessings.
Something akin to carnival games.
It signifies survival, ongoing faith in their deities and relaxation.
Teas made with various flowers, sweet desserts and meatless curries. And of course loads of Roti.
It came to life from the Jehkhun ancestors surviving a harsh winter and safely delivering their young. It was their way of giving thanks to their deities.
At least 500 years in the past.
It is important to everyone, but especially new parents and large families.
