Yellu Amavasya is observed on new moon day in the month of December and
it marks the culmination of the Kharif season. On this day the villagers
visit the Maruto temple and in the noon the members of the households
go to their respective fields taking along with them a variety of dishes
like Holige, bread from bajra flour, a vegetable curry, butter, etc. They
pick up five smooth stones from their fields and worship them. Later,
a small quantity of the various dishes brought by them is thrown in various
directions in the field as a symbol of offerings. The members of the family
then sit together in their field along with their guests and partake of
the food.
