As the monsoon begins its retreat and Himachal Pradesh's landscape is washed anew in lush greenery, the region prepares to celebrate one of its most meaningful and nature-centric festivals, Sair. Marked annually around September 16, this age-old tradition is far more than a cultural spectacle. It is observed across districts such as Mandi, Kullu, Sirmaur, Shimla, Solan and Chamba.
