How about another word from Ae
Aestivate that comes from Latin aestivare "to spend the summer somewhere" from aestas "summer."
and which is related to sanskrit word *indh* that means 'to kindle' that is used in indhan.
However the word means "Spend the summer, especially in a dormant state" incidentally its antonym of hibernate that means also spend winter in dormant state as polar beers do so when it comes to desert snake it's aestivate,
How about an aestival festival ;)
