Cheti Chand
Cheti Chand is a festival celebrated primarily by the Sindhi community to mark the arrival of the new year. It usually falls in March or April, coinciding with the Hindu month of Chaitra. The festival honors Jhulelal, the patron saint of the Sindhis, who is believed to have appeared to protect the community from oppression.
During Cheti Chand, people participate in various cultural activities, including singing, dancing, and preparing traditional foods. Devotees visit temples dedicated to Jhulelal and offer prayers, seeking blessings for prosperity and happiness in the coming year. The festival fosters a sense of unity and cultural identity among Sindhis.
