Yes, it is a holiday! January 14th through the 17th is known by many as The Festival of Annap. Although there are groups who celebrate this event in the months of July and again in August, sources indicate that the main feast is the one in January. The Festival of Annap is one of much music and song. It is also observed by the ingestion of copious amounts of food and beverage. Some of the more avid pilgrims have been known to travel many long miles to attend.
