Tusu is a festival of West Bengal and bordering areas of Jharkhand in India. It is celebrated during the month of Paush and ends after Makar Sankranti or the last day of the month as per the Indian Calendar. Tusu is imagined as a young girl, and is worshipped by songs improvised by womenfolk. A Tusu image and vividly decorated temple is also made which can be carried by them. At the end of the festivities the immersion of the image of Tusu is done vividly and with songs which have a melancholic ring. Rural fairs are organised at the time at certain places beside rivers and rivulets.
