and music is an integral part of children's Chher-Chheraa. Chher Chheraa is also given away to the poor families who do not own agricultural land and or depend upon the farmers. Thus, Chher-Chheraa symbolises a concern for the non-producing members of the society. Bhuti and Nistaar On this day of Puspuni, the farmer gives away the remuneration to all labourers of all the agricultural operations. This remuneration is called Bhuti. So also, the farmer gives away some annual bonus to them. This bonus is called Nistaar. With this Nistaar the annual contract of labour ends for the previous agricultural year. As lexical meaning of the word nistaar is "freedom", for an agricultural labourer, Puspuni means the independence day and hence, celebration.
