Скачать или смотреть Mithila’s Golden Fields in December 🌾

In Mithila, farming is more than a livelihood; it’s the soul of life. December, or Margashirsha, is when the fields come alive with the golden glow of ripe paddy and wheat. For most families, this is the busiest and most crucial time of the year, as nearly 70-80% of the population depends on farming to make ends meet. From sunrise to sunset, farmers work tirelessly in the fertile plains shaped by rivers like the Kosi and Bagmati, harvesting crops with simple tools and age-old techniques.

What makes Mithila’s harvest unique isn’t just the hard work; it’s the spirit behind it. Neighbors join hands, folk songs echo across the fields, and every grain feels like a gift from the earth. The first harvest is always offered to the gods, a ritual of gratitude passed down through generations. Even with challenges like labor shortages and unpredictable weather, this season is more than labor. It is a celebration of resilience, community, and a bond with the soil that has stood the test of time.
