So far the Dear Festival has been held.
So far, "Tokedil" is the pronunciation translation of Tajik, which means "removal of smoke and dust". This is a traditional national festival of the Tajik people. The festival is held in March every year, and the specific date is chosen by ethnic minority religious people. Before the festival, every family moves their things outside and uses batter to make beautiful patterns on the walls to show good luck and cleanliness. On the morning of the festival, a child brings the yak into the house, feeds it some delicious food, and sprinkles some flour on it, symbolizing the prosperity of humans and animals in the new year. Afterwards, people can enter the house and move their belongings into the house. Finally, a respected elder wishes each family well. People visit and greet each other. Women usually greet guests at the door and sprinkle flour on their left shoulders as a sign of good luck. Young people sang and danced and held various sports activities such as horse racing and wrestling.
Lantern Festival
In the Islamic calendar, this festival falls on the first two days of Balochistan. On the eve of the festival, every household uses a kind of grass stem called 'Caulifever' as the core, wraps it with cotton, and soaks it in suet to make many suet candles. On the first night of the festival, the whole family sits together and places a small pile of sand in the house. Parents give them names based on seniority and age. I was told to light two suet candles and place them in the sand. Finally, the whole family prays for God's blessing together. After dark, every household still lights a large suet candle on the roof, symbolizing light and happiness. The next day, families take suet candles and food to the family cemetery to visit the grave. Parents light two suet candles and pray at the grave of each deceased person. Then they eat here and the Lantern Festival ceremony is over.
Little Red Riding Hood Festival
The origin and formation of the oldest traditional festival in Tajikistan can be traced back to a long time ago. On the morning of the festival, each family first lets a boy lead a donkey or a cow into the house, and then walks around the house. The owner gave the donkey a delicious piece of food, sprinkled some flour on its back, and took the donkey out.
Then move everything that has been moved outside. Then, under the leadership of the "coolies" selected by everyone, people paid tribute to each family. Every household also makes flour into flour for cattle, sheep, and plows for livestock to eat. Immediate family members gather together one by one. These villages also hold horse racing, sheep fighting, singing and dancing and other activities. The festival usually lasts for two days. Religious festivals are the three major festivals of Islam.
