Ghadlya
 Girls have their own feature in this festival. They gather in the evening in groups and visit every house of the village carrying earthen pots with holes for the light to come out, made by a wick oil lamp kept inside.
The pot is also termed Ghadlya or Ghurla which means a horse, as it is known in
Malwa.. The girls recite songs linked with Ghadlya in front of every house. In return they get foodstuff or coins. The
Gond girls observe a alike festival. The boy's festival is known as
Chhala. In the adjacent area of Bundelkhand, it is identified as
Tesoo.
