Paparuda is a rain ritual in Romania, probably of pagan origin, celebrated in the spring and in times of severe drought, in order to invoke rain. A girl wearing a skirt made out of knitted vines and small branches sings and dance through the streets of the village stopping at every house, where the hosts pour water on her.
