A misunderstanding
India is a land of diversity. Growing up in India can be confusing. Globalization has now confronted the culture and religion of different places within India. Intercaste and inter-religion marriages are common. Following the culture or not is an individual choice. However, understanding the background is essential. Blindly following the culture is of no use. Today, festivals are just a matter of enjoying delicious food, flaunting new dresses, and flashing them on media for the likes. Swami Vivekananda beautifully explains the purpose of festivals. Festivals are reasons created for Satsangh. How many of us enjoy that?
