SUMMARY:Dussehra
DESCRIPTION:Vijayadashami\, more commonly known as Dussehra\, and also known as Dasara or Dashain\, is a major Hindu festival celebrated every year at the end of Durga Puja and Navaratri. It is observed on the tenth day of the month of Ashvin\, the seventh in the Hindu lunisolar calendar. The festival typically falls in the Gregorian calendar months of September and October. \nVijayadashami is observed for different reasons and celebrated differently in various parts of the Indian subcontinent. In the southern\, eastern\, northeastern\, and some northern states of India\, Vijayadashami marks the end of Durga Puja\, commemorating goddess Durga’s victory against the buffalo-demon Mahishasura to restore and protect dharma. In the northern\, central\, and western states\, it marks the end of Ramlila and commemorates the deity Rama’s victory over the demon-king Ravana. Alternatively\, it marks a reverence for one of the aspects of goddess Devi\, such as Durga or Saraswati.

SUMMARY:Durga Ashtami
DESCRIPTION:Durga Ashtami or Maha Ashtami is the eighth day of the Navaratri festival celebrated by Hindus in veneration of the goddess Durga. In Eastern India\, Durga Ashatmi is also one of the most auspicious days of the five days-long Durga Puja festival. \nTraditionally\, the festival is observed for 10 days in Hindu households\, but the actual puja that takes place in the pandals is held over a period of 5 days (starting from Shashthi). In India\, fasting is undertaken by Hindus on this holy occasion. People also get together on this day to perform the folk dance garba and wear colourful clothes. \nThis day is also known for Astra Puja (the ritual worship of weapons); on this day\, the weapons of Durga are worshipped. The occasion is also rendered Vira Ashtami to mark the usage of arms or martial arts on this day.

A major annual event for Keralites\, it is the official festival of the state and includes a spectrum of cultural events. \nOnam commemorates Vamana (the fifth avatar of Hindu deity Vishnu) and the generous but egotistical daitya king Mahabali.

To do so\, Vishnu incarnates as a dwarf priest called Vamana.

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.

SUMMARY:Ganesh Chaturthi

The festival is marked with the installation of Ganesha’s clay murtis (devotional representations of a deity) privately in homes and publicly on elaborate pandals (temporary stages). Observances include chanting of Vedic hymns and Hindu texts\, such as prayers and vrata (fasting). Offerings and prasada from the daily prayers\, that are distributed from the pandal to the community\, include sweets such as modak as it is believed to be a favourite of Lord Ganesha. The festival ends on the tenth day after start\, when the Murti is carried in a public procession with music and group chanting\, then immersed in a nearby body of water such as a river or sea\, called visarjana on the day of Ananta Chaturdashi. In Mumbai alone\, around 150\,000 Murtis are immersed annually. Thereafter the clay Murti dissolves and Ganesha is believed to return to his celestial abode. \nThe festival celebrates Ganesha as the God of New Beginnings and the Remover of Obstacles as well as the god of wisdom and intelligence and is observed throughout the Indian subcontinent by Hindus\, especially in the states such as Maharashtra\, Madhya Pradesh\, Karnataka\, Kerala\, Odisha\, Telangana\, Andhra Pradesh\, Tamil Nadu and Goa\, as well as Nepal.
