Diwali- the second greatest festival has now appeared in every Hindu community across the globe. As i am a Hindu, I love festivals and i do want to celebrate in a grand way. The Diwali so called Tihar is the festival of color and lights. Every people celebrate with gladness and there will be fun which can be more interesting and enjoyable.
The popular deusi-bhaulis which is chanted in the door of every houses gives more pleasure and fun for all the deewali lovers. There will be firecrackers and lights which is lit every day and usually there will be prayers for Goddess Laxmi for enhancing the financial status in the family. The moments while i get enrolled in such activities while in camps were more interesting and memorable. Praying Cow as a mother, praying Dog and Crow, Ox and cattle is a added feature of this celebration.
The most interesting traits of this festival is the sisters wishes long lives for the brothers in the family and blesses them with honor and dignity and also gives gifts for their brothers. The day is so called Bhai Teeka. The sisters who do not have brothers adopt brothers from other families. Sisters put Teeka in the forehead which have different colors mixed up which is called as Saptarangi Teeka which seems really good. Sisters serve different delicious food to their brothers. Meanwhile, Brothers also gives sisters blessings for their good and fruitful life. The more interesting fact is that both brother and sister will meet each other in this eve even they are residing very far from each other. Some does not meet due to busier schedule of work or with some other reasons.
It is very interesting to celebrate this festival. However, in USA due to busier schedule and also having regular works it is somewhat difficult to celebrate in grand way as like we do in refugee camps in Nepal. Besides this, President Obama has wished on this eve:-
Finally, whereever we are, let us preserve our rich cultural practices by celebrating the festivals which can give us more pleasure in life and if we have continuity our coming generation will know about it. Let this Deewali brings u happiness forever. Happy Diwali.
