त्यछिं त्य वकछीं त्य लातापाता कुलेचाँ जुछिंत्य ।
योमरी च्वामु उकी दुने हाकु ब्युसा माकु मब्युसा ।।
फाकु ब्युसाल्यासे मब्युस बुढी कुटी ।
Yomari Punhi is observed during winter season every year. It is said that eating of yomari takes away cold and helps to make the body warm. Yomari is made by steaming a confection of rice-flour (from the new harvest) dough shaped like fig and filled with brown cane sugar popularly known as chaku and sesame seeds. Yomari is the main item and special dish on the menu during the post-harvest celebration of Yomari Purnima.
