Festivals typically fall on the first three days of the month, though it varies. There are also local celebrations, often for local heroes and events. These are largely unorganized, and consist of poetry, theater, feasts, dancing, and other festivities. Most of these festivities take place in the pa’daju, local taverns, and occasionally rich people’s mansions.
The largest of these festivities happens on the first day of the year, the ti’loberobasise. People see this as the beginning of the circle, and everything starts again. Traditions include friends meeting to apologize for things they had done the previous year, long-distance friends and lovers meeting (sometimes the only time they meet), and large theater, poetry, music, and visual art competitions. Often streets will be highly decorated, and sise, the first story in the holy book banu, will be recited.
