All about the Pori Festival in Himachal Pradesh

The 'Horse Festival' is primarily celebrated in Keylong. The festival's origins can be traced back to centuries-old traditions and legends passed down through generations. It is celebrated in honour of the local deity, Trilokinath, and marks the onset of the harvesting season. The festival is deeply rooted in the agrarian lifestyle of the people of Lahaul and Spiti. It is a time when the harsh winter months are behind them, and the fertile lands promise bountiful crops.
