Festive Season

by MCA in Holidays, October 8, 2009

Festive season in India starts from September end and goes upto mid of November.

we indians love to celebrate. and keeping with our jovial temperament, we have festivals to suit every occasion, whether it is for harvest season, for the changing season, brothers and sisters, husband wife and last but not the least worshipping of gods.

karvachauth is a festival of married ladies and is celebrated with great enthusiasm all over north india. of late, it has been glamorised by the media and has come in trend. now a days, we have special signature style karvas, sarees, bangles and all other things that go along with the occasion.

of course, keeping fast without food and water is the highlight. women pray for their husband’s goodwill and long life. now a days, even men observe symbolic fast for the welfare of their wives.

the fast ends with the ‘chandra darshan’ after which ladies worship the moon god and drink water from their husband’s hands.
