The Tusu Festival is a vibrant harvest festival celebrated by the tribal and agrarian communities of Jharkhand, West Bengal, and Odisha. It is primarily observed in the tribal heartland of the Panchpargana region, specifically in the areas of Bundu, Tamar, and Raidih. Held during the winter month of Pausha (concluding on Makar Sankranti), the festival is dedicated to a folk goddess named Tusu. It features the immersion of beautifully crafted 'Chaudals' (bamboo structures) into the river and the singing of traditional Tusu songs, symbolizing prosperity and communal harmony.
