Igas festival is celebrated 11 days after Diwali

In the mountainous regions of Uttarakhand, there is a tradition of celebrating Bagwal or Igas exactly 11 days after Diwali. It is believed that the news of Lord Shri Ram’s return to Ayodhya reached the mountains 11 days later. Therefore, people celebrate Igas 11 days after Diwali. There is a tradition of playing Bhailo in Igas. According to mythological beliefs, when Shri Ram returned to Ayodhya from exile, people welcomed him by lighting diyas on Kartik Krishna Amavasya. The news of Shri Ram’s return was received on Kartik Shukla Ekadashi, 11 days after Diwali.
