    It is really pleasing and satisfying that after a passivises for decades we are on the natural-cultural-track. The festivity belongs to the agrarian memories of the Wakhi people for thousands of years. It reflects the human belongingness to agrculture as a prime source of food provision. The name ‘TAGHM’ in Wakhi needs to be bracketed with its’ English meaning as “seeding” not ‘bafao’ in fact bo-phow’ in Brushaski for the same.
