Mungaru-Paddy Transplanting Festival (Aug)
At BuDa, we are not just bringing an understanding of growing paddy, but the importance of land and seed preservation through the cultivation of folk rice varieties like halaga, ratnachuda, kempu-halaga and hegge. Get to experience plucking paddy from the roots, traditional farming with plows drawn by bulls to upturn the soil and transplanting the paddy back to the soil. Hands deep in dirt, listening to tribal women sing to the plants, some mud slinging and fresh juice will give a new meaning to a simple staple rice – not just nourishing for the body but the stories of the hands that grow them through song, make it food for the soul!
Take this celebration off the paddy field and onto the kabaddi court with locals showcasing some incredible game! Have a thrilling three days of paddy transplanting, bathing in streams, no cellular network, no electricity, bath products and toiletries made with forest finds, foraging for food and tasting new ingredients; live the slow life at BuDa.
