SUMMARY:Holika Dahan\, Choti Holi\,  Phalguna Poornima(Satyanarayan Pooja at Temple)
DESCRIPTION:This Hindu festival signifies the triumph of righteousness over evil\, with Holika Dahan taking place a day before the grand celebration of colours. According to tradition\, devotees perform rituals and worship Lord Vishnu and Agni Dev (the Fire God) before lighting the Holika bonfire. \nAs per mythology\, Holika Dahan commemorates the day when the demon king Hiranyakashipu’s sister\, Holika\, attempted to burn his son\, Prahlad\, in fire. However\, due to Lord Vishnu’s divine protection\, Prahlad remained unharmed while Holika was reduced to ashes. Since then\, Holika Dahan has been observed every year\, followed by the joyous festival of colours\, where people put aside past grievances and celebrate with gulal and vibrant hues.

SUMMARY:Margashirsha Poornima (Satyanarayan Pooja at Temple)
DESCRIPTION:Significance of Margashirsha Purnima:\nThe month of Margashirsha is considered very auspicious in the traditional Hindu calendar. In the Hindu religious scriptures\, this month is also referred as ‘Magsar’\, ‘Agahan’ or ‘Agrahayan’. It is believed that young girls who take a holy dip in the River Yamuna on Margashirsha Purnima will get desired life partner. Just like the lunar months of Vaishakh\, Kartik and Magha\, taking a bath in the holy rivers on Margashirsha Purnima is very important. Pundits and scholars believe that by performing charitable activities on this sacred day\, all the sins will be relieved. On Margashirsha Purnima\, Lord Vishnu is worshipped as ‘Narayana’. Also\, fasting on the day of Margashirsha Purnima grants fulfilment of all desires or wishes.

SUMMARY:Pradosh vrat (Shiva Abhisheka)
DESCRIPTION:The Pradosh vrat can be observed by all irrespective of the age and gender. People in different parts of the country observe this vrat with full devotion and dedication. This Vrat is observed in honour of Lord Shiva and Devi Parvati. \nIn some parts of India\, disciples worship the Nataraj form of Lord Shiva on this day. As per the Skanda Puran there are two different methods of fasting on the Pradosh vrat. In the first method\, the devotes observe strict fast for whole day and night\, that is\, 24 hours and which also includes keeping a vigil at night. In the second method the fasting is observed from the sunrise until sunset\, and the fast is broken after worshipping Lord Shiva in the evening. \nThe word ‘pradosh’ in Hindi means ‘belonging or relating to the evening’ or ‘first part of the night’. As this sacred vrat is observed during the ‘Sandhyakaal’ that is the evening twilight\, it is called as the Pradosh vrat. \nAccording to the Hindu mythology it is believed that on the auspicious day of Pradosh\, Lord Shiva together with Goddess Parvati feels extremely delighted\, pleased and generous. Therefore the followers of Lord Shiva keep a fast and worship their deity on this chosen day to seek divine blessings.

SUMMARY:Gujarati New Year\,  Bhai Dooj
DESCRIPTION:The festival marks sibling bonds\, simplicity\, and devotion\, traditionally celebrated across the country. The festival holds a significant place\, in Maharashtra\, Bihar\, West Bengal and other states of India. Apart from India\, Nepal also celebrates a similar festival termed Bhai Tikka. The festival starts with the preparation of thali. Sisters prepare a special thali that contains rice\, vermilion (kumkum)\, sandalwood paste\, sweets\, and a diya (oil lamp). The thali represents the elements used in the aarti and tilak ceremonies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe sisters apply tilak to the brother’s forehead; this tilak ritual is auspicious and is believed to protect the brothers from evil influences. After that\, she performed an arti for their brothers by circling the diya around them while chanting prayers. This is a gesture to invoke divine blessings for their brothers’ long life and prosperity.

SUMMARY:Diwali (Diwali in India 1stNovember)
DESCRIPTION:Diwali is also known as ‘Deepavali’\, which literally means rows (avali) of lights (deepa) in Sanskrit. This festival of lights is celebrated on the darkest night (Amavasya) of the Kartik month in the Indian calendar\, and it symbolizes the vanquishing of ignorance (darkness) by knowledge (light). \nThe festival of Diwali has many rituals\, traditions\, and stories associated with it. On the surface\, these traditions may seem very mundane and insignificant but there is a beautiful meaning hidden behind each and every aspect of the Diwali celebrations.

SUMMARY:Pradosh vrat (Shiva Abhishek at temple)\,  Dhanteras
DESCRIPTION:Dhantrayodashi which is also known as Dhanteras is the first day of five days long Diwali festivities. On the day of Dhantrayodashi\, Goddess Lakshmi came out of the ocean during the churning of the Milky Sea. Hence\, Goddess Lakshmi\, along with Lord Kubera who is the God of wealth\, is worshipped on the auspicious day of Trayodashi. However\, Lakshmi Puja on Amavasya after two days of Dhantrayodashi is considered more significant.

Karwa Chauth is celebrated on the fourth day of the Kartik month in the Hindu Calendar. This is a very popular time of the year where friends and family get together to celebrate and meet the festival. The festival of Diwali is celebrated after nine days of Karwa Chauth. Karwa Chauth was initially used to celebrate the alliance between the bride and her in-laws\, but with time the ritual has changed. Nowadays Karwa Chauth is celebrated to seek blessings from the Almighty for husband’s long life and beneficial health. \nAs compared to the Southern India\, Karwa Chauth Fasting is more popular in the North. After the four day span of Karwa Chauth\, Ahoi Ashtami is celebrated for the well being and longevity of sons. Even though the original meaning of Karwa Chauth has changed with time from what it used to be but still the ritual of having a day long fast is followed with utmost enthusiasm and passion among the Indian women for the long life of their husband. \nThe History of Karwa Chauth is drawn backward to the ancient times. It is believed that Karwa Chauth was celebrated to cherish the bond between the bride and the women in her family. Now\, whatever the Karwa Chauth Story says\, it is now celebrated with amazing passion and is considered as one of the most auspicious occasions to cherish. The festival certainly reinforces the bond of love\, both between the wedded and committed couples. Thus\, it is seen as one of the most wonderful and special occasions for the couples.
