Koqsar
 Koqsar is one of the important festivals of the Abujhmarias. It comes as the concluding festival when people care little for privacy.
Koqsar is characterised by ceremonial exchange of visits of boys and girls. In most of the
Abujhmar country, this festival is associated with the end of long separation. Koqsar marks the lifting of the taboo. In Koqsar the men dance in semi-circle and the girls dance in a separate group. The dance proceeds through the whole night.
In the Bhagoriah of the Bhils, marriages are established in Koqsar and it is after the festival that couples meet another time and many boys are able to secure partners for the life ahead.
