PaparudaPaparuda is a rain ritual in Romania, probably of pagan origin (the name is derived from the Slavic goddess Perperuna), 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.
