When the hard green kaafal berries begin to turn red and juicy in the sun, the sounds of two birds echo through the hills and valleys of Uttarakhand. One of them calls out “Kafal pako, maile na chakho! (The kaafal is ripe, but I never tasted it!)”, while the other says, “Pur, putai, pure, pur! (They are all there, daughter, they are there, all there!). The people believe that the cry of two birds is actually a girl, “Haruli” appealing to her mother “Saru”.
