Kaag Tihar is the observance dedicated to crows. Food offerings are traditionally placed where crows can receive them, reflecting the festival's connection with Yama and the role of the crow as a messenger in traditional belief.
A respectful way to learn about Kaag Tihar is to focus on the meaning of the offering rather than treating the ritual as a spectacle. Local families may follow different practices.
