I often get into arguments with people over religion. It is a recent phenomenon. Although I started to feel that when I first left India....but it was meeting with people who have mono-ideologies. One--I believe or not believe (that can also include communism and atheism). So one of the many things that I love, absolutely love about Hinduism is its diversity. Not only do we have several holidays--well more than several--but also every region has its own special flavour. So, I found out about this holiday only a few years ago. Celebrated in central India. And look here at gorgeous women, driving bikes, for another festival, which comes in spring (shorter than 2 minutes).
Following is a spring festival in Assam--the north east. Women wear these sarees made of natural fibre....its called Bihu
And the following one is from Punjab, technically from where my grandparents came. A spring festival--harvest season. Look at just the different outfits. They also celebrated with different foods and there are different outfits associated with it. I mean, even an untrained eye can see the difference. So, it is not a subtle difference that someone needs to explain to you.
Just some of the things, that I love...color and celebrating nature.
