A festival of water, blessing, amusement and merrymaking, Joorshital is widely celebrated by the Tharu community in Nepal. Falling on the first of Baisakh depending upon the lunar calendar, the festival also marks the arrival of New Year for the Tharu community. 

This festival is also known as Siruwa Pawain or simply Siruwa as it comes in the beginning of each year marking the beginning of the festivals as well. Literally, Joorshital means ‘cooling by the means of water’ so, the festival is celebrated by throwing water at each other.
