Raulane is an ancient folk festival celebrated in the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh, usually in late winter or early spring. It is believed to be thousands of years old and is deeply connected to the local spiritual beliefs and folklore of the Himalayan region.
The festival honours mystical mountain fairies called “Saunis.” Locals believe these celestial spirits protect villages during harsh winters, guiding and safeguarding people living in the mountains. Raulane is celebrated to thank these spirits and seek blessings for the coming season.
The most distinctive part of the festival is a symbolic wedding ritual:
• Two men from the village are chosen.
• One becomes Raula (the groom).
• The other becomes Raulane (the bride).
They dress in traditional Kinnauri woollen clothing, masks, jewellery, and elaborate headgear so that their faces and bodies are completely covered.
The pair then perform a slow ceremonial dance at temples like the Nagin Narayan Temple, believed to act as a connection between humans and the spirit world.
