Baisakhi
Baisakhi celebrations in Haryana are  vibrant and joyous. Baisakhi marks the end of religious austerity of nine holy days of fasting. As in Punjab, here, too, people bathe in some nearby river, canal, tank or well and thereafter go to temples or gurudwaras for offering prayers, followed by song, dance and merry-making.

Tika
Tika is celebrated in the month of Kartika (Oct-Nov.) on the day following Diwali. Women put a tika of saffron and rice grains on the foreheads of their brothers, to protect them from evil. The women dress up in finery to perform the ceremony.They give sweets on this auspicious occasion and  also sing and pray for their long life and prosperity. The brothers in turn give some gifts or money as a token of their affection. Tika is celebrated with equal zeal in Punjab and Haryana.

Sanjhi
It is a day for rituals, prayers and celebrations. Sanjhi is a  festival particular to women in rural Haryana. It is celebrated in the month of  October. Sanjhi is the name given to images of the Mother Goddess designed by the rural women. Made of cowdung paste, the form of the Goddess is a symbol of  health, wealth and prosperity. According to folklore, the Goddess of  wealth only enters on those houses  with the walls that are decorated with form of  Sanjhi. The image is designed on the first day of the nine days of  Durga Puja. And with the prayers everyday the Goddess on the front wall of the house is also offered food.
