FESTIVE MODE ON🙂

 

Hello friends ....So how was your Diwali celebration?Hope you all enjoyed as much as I did.Ofcourse there were a few restrictions due to COVID-19 pandemic ,still nothing could dampen our spirits and we clebrated Diwali with great zeal and enthusiasm.I gorged on papdis, dewaleys and a lot of sweets during Diwali😜.This Diwali,crackers were banned in Ghaziabad so I only played with some squibs alongwith my friends.I also enjoyed making  Rangoli  ,which I do every year on Diwali.

Friends,as you know,any occasion for me is incomplete without painting something related to that particular occasion.So for this occasion too I painted a diya on canvas. You can see the painting at the top of the blog.This is how I celebrated quiet and peaceful Diwai with my family.

Now my Diwali break is over and my classes have also started.However,some people are on leave to celebrate Chhath puja after Diwali.People, especially those living in Bihar,Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh celebrate Chhath puja.I am sure most of you must be knowing what chhath puja is but those who don't ,  let me tell you about it.....chhath 

puja is dedicated to the solar deity Suraya and Shashti Devi chhathi maiya in order to thank them for bestowing the bounties of life on earth and to request the granting of certain wishes . Chhath puja is celebrated on sixth day after Diwali .It is a four day long festival including fasting for almost 36 hours.In a way it is extended Diwali celebration for some.

India is a culturally diverse country.Here people belonging to different religion and faith live together and celebrate each other's festivals with great love and joy.This is a beautiful example of unity in diversity.

So here's wishing HAPPY CHHATH to those who celebrate and also to those who don't.

Until my next blog bye bye
