SUMMARY:Guru Nanak Jayanti
DESCRIPTION:Guru Nanak Gurpurab (Punjabi: ਗੁਰੂ ਨਾਨਕ ਜੀ ਗੁਰਪੁਰਬ (Gurmukhi))\, also known as Guru Nanak Prakash Utsav (ਗੁਰੂ ਨਾਨਕ ਜੀ ਦਾ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸ਼ ਉਤਸਵ)\, celebrates the birth of the first Sikh guru\, Guru Nanak. One of the most celebrated and important Sikh gurus and the founder of Sikhism\, Guru Nanak is highly revered by the Sikh community. This is one of the most sacred festivals in Sikhism\, or Sikhi. The festivities in the Sikh religion revolve around the anniversaries of the 10 Sikh Gurus. These Gurus were responsible for shaping the beliefs of the Sikhs. Their birthdays\, known as Gurpurab\, are occasions for celebration and prayer among the Sikhs. \nGuru Nanak\, the founder of Sikhism\, was born on Puranmashi of Kattak in 1469\, according to the Vikram Samvat calendar in Rai-Bhoi-di Talwandi in the present Shekhupura District of Pakistan\, now Nankana Sahib. It is a Gazetted holiday in India. The controversial Bhai Bala Janamsakhi claims Guru Nanak was born on the Full Moon (Pooranmashi) of the Indian Lunar Month Kartik. The Sikhs have been celebrating Guru Nanak’s Gurpurab around November for this reason and has it been ingrained in Sikh Traditions \n

SUMMARY:Chhath Puja
DESCRIPTION:Chhath is an ancient Hindu festival\, native to the Indian subcontinent and of heritage to the Indo-Nepalese. It is celebrated across all Northern Indian regions. In particular\, to the Indian states of Bihar\, Jharkhand\, and Uttar Pradesh; and the Nepalese Autonomous provinces of Koshi\, Lumbini\, and Madhesh. In the major northern urban centres in India\, hundreds of thousands of people celebrate it in cities including Delhi\, Mumbai and Kathmandu Valley. During Chhath Puja\, prayers are dedicated to the solar deity\, Surya: to show gratitude for bestowing the bounties of life on Earth and to request that certain wishes be granted. \nChhathi Maiya\, the sixth form of Prakriti and Surya’s sister\, is worshipped during the festival. It is celebrated six days after Deepavali\, or Tihar\, on the sixth day of the lunar month of Kartika (October or November) in the Hindu calendar (Vikram Samvat)\, and hence why it is called Surya Shashti Vrata. The rituals are observed over three nights and four days. They include holy bathing\, fasting\, and abstaining from drinking water (as a vrata)\, standing in water\, and offering prasada (prayer offerings) and arghya to the rising and setting of the Sun. Some devotees also perform a prostration march as they head towards the riverbanks. All devotees prepare similar prasada (religious food) and offerings.

SUMMARY:Govardhan Puja
DESCRIPTION:Govardhan Puja (IAST: Govardhana-pūjā)\, also known as Annakut or Annakoot (meaning a “mountain of food”)\, is a Hindu festival celebrated on the first lunar day of the bright fortnight of the month of Kartika\, on the fourth day of Diwali. Devotees worship Govardhan Hill and prepare and offer a large variety of vegetarian food to Krishna as a mark of gratitude. For Vaishnavas\, this day commemorates the incident in the Bhagavata Purana when Krishna lifted Govardhan Hill to provide the villagers of Vrindavan shelter from torrential rains. This incident symbolizes God offering protection to devotees who take singular refuge in him. Devotees offer a mountain of food\, metaphorically representing the Govardhan Hill\, to God as a ritual remembrance and to renew their faith in taking refuge in God. The festival is observed by most Hindu denominations all over India and abroad.

SUMMARY:Diwali
DESCRIPTION:Diwali\, Deepavali is the Hindu festival of lights\, with variations celebrated in other Indian religions. It symbolises the spiritual “victory of light over darkness\, good over evil\, and knowledge over ignorance”. Diwali is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar months of Ashvin (according to the amanta tradition) and Kartika—between around mid-September and mid-November. The celebrations generally last five or six days. \nDiwali is connected to various religious events\, deities and personalities\, such as being the day Rama returned to his kingdom in Ayodhya with his wife Sita and his brother Lakshmana after defeating the demon king Ravana. It is also widely associated with Lakshmi\, the goddess of prosperity\, and Ganesha\, the god of wisdom and the remover of obstacles. Other regional traditions connect the holiday to Vishnu\, Krishna\, Durga\, Shiva\, Kali\, Hanuman\, Kubera\, Yama\, Yami\, Dhanvantari\, or Vishvakarman. \nPrimarily a Hindu festival\, variations of Diwali are also celebrated by adherents of other faiths. The Jains observe their own Diwali which marks the final liberation of Mahavira. The Sikhs celebrate Bandi Chhor Divas to mark the release of Guru Hargobind from a Mughal prison. Newar Buddhists\, unlike other Buddhists\, celebrate Diwali by worshipping Lakshmi\, while the Hindus of Eastern India and Bangladesh generally celebrate Diwali by worshipping the goddess Kali. \nDuring the festival\, the celebrants illuminate their homes\, temples and workspaces with diyas (oil lamps)\, candles and lanterns. Hindus\, in particular\, have a ritual oil bath at dawn on each day of the festival. Diwali is also marked with fireworks as well as the decoration of floors with rangoli designs and other parts of the house with jhalars. Food is a major focus with families partaking in feasts and sharing mithai. The festival is an annual homecoming and bonding period not only for families\, but also for communities and associations\, particularly those in urban areas\, which will organise activities\, events\, and gatherings. Many towns organise community parades and fairs with parades or music and dance performances in parks. Some Hindus\, Jains\, and Sikhs will send Diwali greeting cards to family near and far during the festive season\, occasionally with boxes of Indian confectionery. Another aspect of the festival is remembering the ancestors.

SUMMARY:Valmiki Jayanti
DESCRIPTION:Valmiki was a legendary poet who is celebrated as the traditional author of the epic Ramayana\, based on the attribution in the text itself. He is revered as Ādi Kavi\, the first poet\, author of Ramayana\, the first epic poem. \nThe Ramayana\, originally written by Valmiki\, consists of 24\,000 shlokas and seven cantos (kaṇḍas). The Ramayana is composed of about 480\,002 words\, being a quarter of the length of the full text of the Mahabharata or about four times the length of the Iliad. The Ramayana tells the story of a prince\, Rama of the city of Ayodhya in the Kingdom of Kosala\, whose wife Sita is abducted by Ravana\, the demon-king (Rakshasa) of Lanka. The scholars’ estimates for the earliest stage of the text ranging from the 8th to 4th centuries BCE\, and later stages extending up to the 3rd century CE\, although original date of composition is unknown. As with many traditional epics\, it has gone through a process of interpolations and redactions\, making it impossible to date accurately. \nBritish satirist Aubrey Menen says that Valmiki was “recognized as a literary genius\,” and thus was considered\, “an outlaw\,” presumably because of his “philosophic scepticism\,” as part of an “Indian Enlightenment” period. Valmiki is also quoted as being the contemporary of Rama. Menen claims Valmiki is “the first author in all history to bring himself into his own composition.

SUMMARY:Hindi Diwas
DESCRIPTION:Hindi Day (Hindi: हिन्दी दिवस\, romanized: hindī divas) is celebrated in India to commemorate the date 14 September 1949 on which a compromise was reached—during the drafting of the Constitution of India—on the languages that were to have official status in the Republic of India. \nThe compromise\, usually called the Munshi-Ayyangar formula\, after drafting committee members K. M. Munshi and N. Gopalaswami Ayyangar\, was voted by the Constituent Assembly of India after three years of debate between two opposing camps. The Hindi protagonists wanted Modern Standard Hindi register of the Hindustani language in Devanagari script to be the sole “national language” of India (replacing the British era Hindustani of Perso-Arabic script); the delegates from South India preferred English to have a place in the Constitution. \nThe Munshi-Ayyangar formula declared (i) Hindi to be the “official language” of India’s federal government; (ii) English to be an associate official language for 15 years during which Hindi’s formal lexicon would be developed; and (iii) the international form of the Hindu–Arabic numerals to be the official numerals. \nThe compromise resolution became articles 343–351 of India’s constitution\, which went into effect on 26 January 1950. In 1965\, when the 15 years were up\, the Government of India announced that English would continue to be the “de facto formal language of India.
