Fulpati means an assortment of flowers, leaves, and fruits of different plants considered auspicious. Linked to Durga Puja and marking the seventh day of Dashain, this predominantly Nepali festival is celebrated by Lepchas and others with processions and dancing. 

The main feature of this carnival is rock and band music in English, Bengali, and Nepali by local talents. This lasts for 10 days and also includes photography exhibitions, recitation of poetry by different groups, and car rallies. Local and traditional food stalls are set up at the Mall. It goes without saying that this legendary carnival is the epicenter of different cultural communities coming together and breaking the barrier between different communities and tribes who dwell in this hill station.

This day marks the beginning of the Nepali month Magh, and this festival welcomes the spring season and beckons it to bring to the people of Darjeeling good weather and fortune for the rest of the year. On this day, the locals eat Tarool, a combination of various types of edible roots.

The 15th day of the Nepali month Asar (June) is celebrated as National Paddy Day. It holds great significance for the farmers as it marks the beginning of paddy plantation shortly after the arrival of monsoon in the country. On this day, people plant rice saplings in the fields and have fun playing traditional folk songs and splashing muddy water on each other. Beaten rice with curd, locally known as “dahi chewda” is eaten on this day. 

The festival is to help visitors learn about Darjeeling's famous oranges. These ones are paler, smaller and sweeter than those found in the rest of the county. The locals try to make the festival more interesting with cultural performances.
