Which of the following best captures the core rituals and symbolism of the Fagli (Kus/Kuns) festival in Pattan Valley?
Punha involves symbolic ploughing indoors using willow sticks, reflecting farming hopes during snow.
Fagli (locally Kus or Kuns) is the most important festival of the Pattan Valley in Lahaul. Each day of the festival has its own name and ritual.
The day called 'Punha' is a symbolic representation of ploughing the fields. Because the actual fields are buried under snow at this time of year, the ploughing is done indoors using two green willow sticks to represent the bullocks and two more to represent the yoke and plough — exactly as option 2 describes.
The other options scramble or invent details: the Baraza is made with marigold flowers and a white sheet (no turmeric, and is placed inside houses, not village shrines); Totu is dough of roasted barley and buttermilk offered to deities (not wheat-and-honey for priests); and Kwari is a local sweet preparation, not specifically tied to crow-spirit chants.
