The festival is a traditional festival with a history of more than 1,000 years and continues to this day, with a brave parade of armored riders riding through the streets, their horses clinking and clattering, a dynamic horse race with roaring horses and horses, and a battle for the sacred flag, which is fought like a battle for the prestige of the region.
