According to local beliefs, while Diwali was being celebrated in Ayodhya on the victory of Lord Rama, the news was delayed in reaching the hilly areas of Uttarakhand, so the people here celebrated Diwali eleven days later. On the day of Igas, lamps are lit in homes and villages, the traditional dance ‘Chholiya’ is performed, and special dishes such as ‘Singal’ and ‘Bada’ are prepared.
