Kaw Punim is a unique festival, which is dedicated to crows and is celebrated in
Jammu and Kashmir. The festival is held during the full moon day of the Hindu month of Maagh (January-February).
On this particular day, two sticks are tied in the shape of a cross. On the open ends of the cross, grass is woven in the shape of a flat spoon. Yellow colored cooked rice, meant for the crows, is served on the spoon shaped structure. Children sing a song while making the offering to the crow. This festival is celebrated to indicate the love of people towards the birds.
