On the celebrations that can't be scheduled, only chanced upon.

What it's like when the whole village becomes one household for a week.

Colour, cold, song, and a kind of joy that's hard to explain.

Old gods, big crowds, and the smell of the season.

Pahadi music, and the dancing it pulls out of even the shy.

On joining in only when it feels right — and that being perfectly fine.
