Bhagoria means "to run away" and during the festival young boys and girls may "run away" together. If a boy finds a girl during the circle dances, carnival or in the market place, he follows her and puts red powder called "gulaal" on her face
If the girl likes him they slip away and get it on. When they return the boy presents an arrow (signifying enmity)
and a blouse (signifying marriage) to the girl's family. If the blouse is returned bride price terms can be discussed.
