Sarhul is celebrated in Jharkhand during the spring season.

Sarhul is a traditional festival celebrated by the tribal communities, particularly the Oraon tribe, in the Indian state of Jharkhand. It is one of the most important festivals in the region and is celebrated to worship the village deity or the Earth Goddess, known as "Dharti Mata" or "Bhagwati Mata".

The festival is primarily celebrated during the spring season, typically in the month of April, when nature is in full bloom, and the surroundings are adorned with vibrant colors of flowers and greenery. Sarhul marks the onset of the agricultural season and is observed as a thanksgiving ritual to seek blessings for a bountiful harvest.
