Many festivals are celebrated in this village, such as Manabasa Gurubara,[3] Raja, Dasahara, Holi, Diwali and Dola festival.

This festival is celebrated on each Thursday of the month Margasira, which is four days of celebration during the month. Women clean their houses and make jhoti chita[4] from rice paste. It is believed that Laxmi visits each home on these days and gives blessings. There is a story about this festival in Laxmi Puran.
Raja (festival),[5] another popular festival in this village, is for girls only. Girls wearing new dresses eat all types of pitha when they visit their friends and relatives and enjoy the holiday.
Dola festival is another festival celebrated by villagers on the day of Holi, which is similar to the better known festival. Lord Krishna comes to everyone's home on a wooden cart and plays with Abira and colour. Abira is similar to colour but it is natural and made from dry leaves and sands. Lord Krishna offers new mangoes, and those are the first mangoes that appear on the mango tree.
