Very informative post..

Great sharing.. I love folk stories.. I pretty much grew up with Mahabharata and Ramayana stories.. although, the Indonesian versions are adjusted in several spots..

Well done. Indian culture should be discussed as there are many rich traditions which the world needs to know and admire.

Re:

Thanks very much indeed...I wasn't sure if my readers would enjoy a 'country/festival specific' post, or if I could convey the significance without giving tedious details of the origins. You've encouraged me to post snippets like this in future! Another excellent excuse for buying gold jewelry: inviting wealth and abundance-- as gold symbolises Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth! That is why Indian women will wear only silver toe-rings, never gold. Have a great day! Nita.

Re:

Yes, the origins and rituals of some traditions are quite fascinating, [though I must say people in rural areas follow them more than do city folk]  and India has other interesting aspects too....[the food for one!] so I do hope you visit someday and experience them. Thanks for stopping by! Nita.

Re: And you forgot about ID snowview

You're right; thanks! and the Sikh festivals coming up. I thought of writing about Divali because of the stories/rituals/colors associated with it, and mentioned Dussehra because of the link between the two. Thanks for stopping by! Nita.

Very interesting post indeed. I love to hear and learn of the traditions of other countries. Next time I go and buy jewelery I now have a brilliant excuse: I need to keep the devil away. Next instalment please.
