The '''kūlħanarai''' (grammatically plural), which falls on 29 haunyai, is a festival originally of Kenengyry peoples (cf. [[Soenjoan]] ''kuvul hynyrŏŋ'' (likely the origin of the Chl. term), Kŭy. ''kuy khanŭrokŭ'', Eneg. ''küğew henreg'') originally celebrating the winter solstice, hence analogue to the Chlouvānem ''camilalyājaṃšā'', but later shifted to celebrate winter itself, and which has a peculiar history in the Inquisition. It was adopted as a general festival in the Kaiṣamā era in the dioceses of the Northwest (which have not only the strongest Kenengyry presence, but were also former Evandorian colonies) as an attempt to have a Yunyalīlti-friendly version of the religious feast of Rebirth (''Cálen Ecozóntan'' in Cerian) celebrated in the Western world (itself, in its modern form in most of Calémere, a syncretic feast of Íscégon, Nivarese, and ancient Velken origins). The date of ''kūlħanarai'' on 29 haunyai (well in the middle of winter) was chosen in order to have an Eastern bloc replacement for both the Western New Year (1 fásónon, i.e. 21 haunyai) and Rebirth (1 and 2 áman, i.e. 4 and 5 laindyai); some of the typical Rebirth traditions in the Evandorian countries which colonized those areas of the Inquisition have been shifted to ''kūlħanarai''; the general imagery found even outside those areas (esp. in all major cities), however, is a mix of Western and Kenengyry themes. In the Inquisition, it is celebrated in the dioceses of Srāmiṇajāṇai, Tārṣaivai, Ūnikadīltha, Yultijaiṭa, and Līnajoṭa<ref>The Srāmiṇajāṇai were mostly an Auralian colony, with the southernmost part of it being Cerian, like Tārṣaivai and a few settlements in Ūnikadīltha. Most of Yultijaiṭa was a Nordûlaki colony, but its southwestern coast was a colony of the Kingdom of Bankráv. Līnajoṭa, however, had never been colony of any Western power.</ref>; only in Srāmiṇajāṇai, Tārṣaivai, and Yultijaiṭa it is a full holiday.
