Long ago, when the world was young, the Earth Goddess chose the mighty Sal trees as her messengers to connect with humans. She blessed these trees with the power to bloom at the perfect moment each year, signaling the start of spring and new life.
The first Sal flowers were said to carry the essence of the goddess herself - their sweet fragrance brought fertility to the land, their golden color promised prosperity, and their timing marked the perfect moment for planting crops.
The tribal elders say that those who respect the Sal trees and offer prayers during their blooming are blessed with abundance throughout the year. This is why the Sarhul festival remains the most sacred celebration among Jharkhand's tribal communities.
