Igas Bagwal, celebrated 11 days after Diwali in Uttarakhand, is a vibrant festival that highlights the region's rich traditions and folk culture, fostering community unity and reverence.
Somewhere this festival is also known as Budhi Deepawali.
Which is a symbol of the folk culture of Uttarakhand. It is believed that the news of Lord Shri Ram's return to Ayodhya after exile in Garhwal reached late and people in the mountains celebrated Deepawali only then.
