essay on fest

The history of seasonal festivals in north India is as old as the history of the Singh valley civilization. The blacksmith festival marks the end of winter and the arrival of spring and the beginning of a new year.

The fire of the night, the warmth of the hands, the singing and dancing and the atomized community gathering are some of the features of this festival.

The Lohri of northern India celebrates Pongal in Tamil Nadu, Makar Sankranti in West Bengal, Mai Bhui in Assam, Tai Pongal in Kerala, on the auspicious day of the Makar Sankranti.

According to the cultural history of Punjab, the Rajput clan fell during the reign of Akbar, in Rajasthan, Punjab and the rest of Gujarat (now in Pakistan). King Dula Bhatti of Pindi Bhatti was killed by the boy king to revolt against him.

Tribal Mirasi (Street Singer) traces the history of the tribe and interestingly, Maharaja considers Ranjit Singh one of its points.

Dula Bhatti, like the fictional character, robbed the rich and gave it to the poor. People in the area liked and respected him. He once rescued a woman from kidnappers and adopted her as his child.

His people used to take his hero on the blacksmith once a year. Teams of kids were impressed by the house-to-house singing of the song: “Get the bride! Don’t rush the ball! Shares are grateful!”

(The bride gifted her woman’s wedding to the offspring as a metric weight unit of the offspring.)

Lohri is actually a tarpon dedicated to the fire and therefore to the sun. This is the time when the sun once enters Capricorn and heads north. From the point of view of pseudo-science, this can be said as the sun turns into a desert.

The new configuration reduces winter wilderness and warms the earth. This is to prevent the scorching frost of the month of January that people carry lightweight bonfires, dance around and celebrate the blacksmith with fiery life and health ideas. Fire, like water, can be the image of change and rebirth.

It is the representative of the sun and is connected to it, with rays of sunshine on one side, and gold on the contrary. It is capable of promoting the expansion of the cornfields and, therefore, of humans and animals better. It is the magic of imitation to ensure sun and heat settings.

This is a picture of excess energy and non-secular power. That is why the iron stove becomes sacred and is honored as a god. On this occasion, people offer peanuts, popcorn, and sweets made from sesame seeds, gajak, and shrimp — to fill the fireplace with the sun god logo.😁 for more click here
