The Cultural Village Foundation, Katara, conducted Haya Baya yesterday as part of its efforts to preserve folk customs, with youngsters participating while dressed in traditional Qatari garb. Before the kids tossed their plants into the water, the participating females sung songs typical of their tradition.
Since the month of Dhul Hijjah, children have gathered for Haya Baya in a number of Gulf nations. Each kid takes an empty preserved box or a tiny wicker basket, in which several plants are put. The youngster commits to irrigating them while also protecting and nurturing them. This is a crucial component of this well-liked practise. The owner of the plant will be more proud of it in front of his peers if it is larger.
Numerous people complimented Katara's numerous heritage- and education-related events and activities, which aim to both preserve and educate the next generation about the history of the forefathers.
