BioFest- Indian festivals and Biodiversity Part II
In the second category Indian BioFest we can include those festivals/rituals which are indirectly promoting conservation of biodiversity, especially plants, due to demands of particular plants during the ritual or festive process, for example let us take the example of common ritual of yagna or havan happening during various festivals in India, during the havan many plants are required to be used in the process which are necessary to complete it. Sometimes these plants are not popular in modern society in daily means but their need during the ritual made it necessary to conserve them for accomplishment of the ritual.
Minor BioFest mostly includes Indian rituals due to their long process and offering process of different natural elements. Ingredients that make part of a festival or celebration are naturally protected because they serve a purpose and have ritual significance. Since Yagna or Havan is unseparated part of most of the Indian communities and there is always a yagna or havan happening in any part of the country, so it is the most important BioFest to be included on first place in this list,
Some plants which are used in the ritual of Yagna or Havan are: –
Bael (Aegle marmelos)
Neem (Azadirachta indica)
Palash (Butea monosperma)
Deodar (Cedrus deodara)
Gular (Ficus racemosa)
Peepal (Ficus religiosa)
Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera)
Bramhi (Bacopa monnieri)
Mulethi (Glycyrrhiza glabra)
Baheda (Terminalia Bellirica), etc.
As we can see that most of these plants are not used in food market but their need in the society and rituals has made them compulsory to be conserve.
The most renowned festival in second category is Chhath Festival. In India and Nepal, Chhath Puja is an important festival that helps to safeguard several native fruit species, especially the pomelo, which is part of the offerings made by women to the Sun God. The ritual of Chhath is largely observed by women, who over 3 days, clean and purify their homes, fast for 36 hours with family members, and prepare a special dish with rice and jaggery (cane sugar) using dried twigs of mango as fuelwood. On the 4th day, a puja (prayer ritual) is performed near a river or water body. The puja includes offerings made of a diverse variety of fruits, flowers, spices and root vegetables. Women arrange these offerings carefully and recite traditional songs to reiterate the importance of conserving water and the environment. Of all the ingredients used, pomelo, is the essential fruit that makes this ritual complete. A large citrus fruit native to South Asia, the festival is a strong motivation for families in Bihar to plant a pomelo tree in their homegarden. In fact, many of the fruits, herbs and spices used in the festival such as guava, banana, sugarcane, turmeric and ginger, are all sourced from homegardens, for example in Bihar where the festival has great importance, the average homegarden boasts an average of 6-8 fruit trees, up to 16 in some cases.
For most rural households, homegardens provide their families with supplementary food, fodder, fuelwood, medicine and other socio-cultural needs that might arise throughout the year. They act as a safety net, ensuring year-round income in case of crop failure. From a researcher’s point of view, these gardens double as in situ conservation sites for many unique genetic resources for food and agriculture. These fruits, roots and spices not only benefit the household directly and improve their living space, but contribute to a wider pool of available genetic resources for the community and future generations. Most of the fruits used during Chhath are:-
Mango (Mangifera indica)
Lemon (Citrus limon)
Sapota (Achras zapota)
Pomelo (Citrus grandis)
Jackfruit (Artocarpus integrifol)
Monkey Jack (Jackfruit) (Artocarpus lakoocha)
Papaya (Carica papaya)
Sugar Apple (Annona squamosa)
Banana(Musa paradisiaca)
Custard Apple (Annona reticulata)
Pomegranate (Punica granatum)
Peach (Prunus persica)
Jamun (Syzygium cumini)
Indian gooseberry (Emblica officinalis)
Lychee (Litchi chinensis)
Guava (Psidium guajava)
The plants grown in homegardens are not static, but rather provide opportunities for experimentation and creativity. Homegarden owners often attempt new experiments such as introducting new varieties, planting in different seasons and growing different companion mixtures to see how that might affect productivity.
Another similar type of festival is Harelaa of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh state which is basically a festival related to agriculture but its whole long process makes it best suit for biodiversity conservation. Harelaa is celebrated three times in a year during the sowing seasons in Uttarakhand and Himachal. During the occasion family members sow 5 types of agricultural plants in a small container (which is made of leaves or bamboo) containing the soil of their cropland.
To start the process, one has to take out soil from rat’s burrows only as it is believed that the rat’s burrow contains all types of soil of the field due to its movement in the cropland. We can clearly see that where rats are believed to be the enemy of farmers and a pest in agricultural sector, this festival shows how even a rat can be beneficial for one. As a rat moves in different croplands in search of food it transfers the soil of that land in the burrow making it easier to get the mixture of soils of different croplands.
After that the soil is dried and then transferred to a container made of leaves or bamboo. Then seeds of 5 plants are sowed in it which include wheat, corn, mustard, horse gram, and barley. After 9-11 days plants are offered to deity – then – family members – then – all pets or domesticated animals and then to the nearby birds of the area or house. In the last the food is offered to cows and crows and then is distributed among family members to eat.
This festival act as an efficient way to make the children emotionally attach to the nature and its components. The festival supports plantation and biodiversity conservation and can be a good translator to spread green message of conservation.
There are many rituals or festivals that can be put in this list like Badhaan Pujan, and Peepal Pujan of Uttarakhand, Vyanjan Ekadashi in Odisha, Tulsi Pujan in North India etc. Knowledge of these BioFests can be beneficial for governments if they want to preserve biodiversity and culture in an integrated manner. There are also some modern BioFest present in India like Hornbill Festival of Nagaland, Konkan Fruit Festival of Goa, Hakki Habba Bird Festival of Karnataka, etc but these are more conservation oriented with less to no relation with any special ritual or cultural identity, so the Major and minor BioFest can surely provide a Bio-cultural opportunity to make biodiversity conservation an emotional part od communities.

Februarius
Februarius, fully Mensis Februarius ("month of Februa"), was the shortest month of the Roman calendar from which the Julian and Gregorian month of February derived. It was eventually placed second in order, preceded by Ianuarius ("month of Janus", January) and followed by Martius ("month of Mars", March). In the oldest Roman calendar, which the Romans believed to have been instituted by their legendary founder Romulus, March was the first month, and the calendar year had only ten months in all. Ianuarius and Februarius were supposed to have been added by Numa Pompilius, the second king of Rome, originally at the end of the year. It is unclear when the Romans reset the course of the year so that January and February came first.
Februarius was the only month in the pre-Julian calendar to have an even number of days, numbering 28. This was mathematically necessary to permit the year itself to have an odd number of days. Ancient sources derived Februarius from februum, a thing used for ritual purification. Most of the observances in this month concerned the dead or closure, reflecting the month's original position at the end of the year. The Parentalia was a nine-day festival honoring the ancestors and propitiating the dead, while the Terminalia was a set of rituals pertaining to boundary stones that was probably also felt to reinforce the boundary of the year.

Terminalia, held on the 23rd February, officially marked the end of a Roman year.
The festival was dedicated to Terminus, the god of boundaries and thought to reside in the boundary stones which divided two properties. Rather than an permanent alter, sacrifices were offered to these stones.
These sacrifices included flower garlands, gifts of honey and the sacrifice of either a lamb or pig.

My secret santa gift for the LU discord and I got LA-Arts or @loz-and-lu-fan-blog! They wanted my take on the gods of termina, specifically Terminas (the Goddess of Time), the Fierce Deity, and Majora.
I based the Goddess of Time after Roman god Terminus, the god of boundary markers who appeared as a statue. Weirdly enough, every year a festival was held for him called Terminalia. The Fierce Deity was just the Fierce Deity with some elements added or removed. Majora was fun because of love interpretations of them as a woman.
I added the faries to what I thought best fit them and positioned the three in a lopsided triforce. Majora is power with Navi. Terminus is wisdom with Tael. The Fierce Deity is courage with Tatl.
This was so much fun, I think it’s probably the best I’ve ever done, and enjoy my variations at the bottom!
