Hareli is celebrated mainly by the farming community in the month of Shravan.
The farmers worship their farm equipment and cows. They place branches
and leaves of Bhelwa tree in the fields and pray for a good crop and also
hang Neem branches at the main entrance of their homes to prevent seasonal
diseases. It is also the time when Baigas or traditional medical practitioners
teach and evaluate their disciples. During this festival children play
Gedi, when they walk on Bamboos and take part in the gedi race.
