Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Kumaon Hills.
Phool Dei is a vibrant harvest festival celebrated primarily in the Kumaon and Garhwal regions of Uttarakhand. Observed on the first day of the Hindu month of Chaitra (March-April), it marks the onset of spring. During the festival, young girls go from house to house scattering freshly picked wildflowers—like Lyonia and Mustard—on doorsteps to bring prosperity. This unique tradition celebrates the deep bond between the mountain communities and the blooming natural landscape of the Himalayas.
