Of Halloweens, Baby Showers and Thanksgivings

A recent news piece I read on a couple’s romantic pregnancy photo shoot at a very in-vogue location in Kerala had me checking out the comment section out of curiosity. And there they were, the judgmental lot, who labelled the couple attention seeking, trying to ape Western culture and women writing essays on how they have also been pregnant but never showed off like this. I breathed the sigh of relief… my homeland is still the same-not ready to accept anything that seems new and modern, ridiculing women who chose to act against established norms and unwarranted moral policing.

It was just around 2 years back that I had a baby shower for my second child. My family back home in Kerala had not heard of such a thing and asked me for details when they saw the pictures. They were quite welcoming of the new pregnancy celebration. But I am sure many friends on my FB list would have discussed with their near ones on the “thonnivaaasam”(mindless acts) that I was doing. Yes, the baby shower is a Western custom. But we do have our own godhbharai/puliyoonu rituals that does the same thing – celebrate a pregnancy and wish well to the expectant mother. But when it is called baby shower, it becomes something to be opposed owing to it’s Western influence.

It was Halloween yesterday. I had plans to organize a Halloween party at home as my daughter seemed very fascinated by the idea of Halloween. Since it was the middle of the week, I dropped the party plans. And since she was on Diwali vacation, my daughter too seemed to forget about it. It was when she went down to play that she realized that it was Halloween and she missed out this time. It was already too late to make dinner plans either. You would ask me why I am so enthusiastic towards a Western tradition for dead people. For me Halloween is a glorified fancy dress party which aids the purpose of de-mystifying the concept of ghosts and making it sound funny rather than scary. If my kid has fun getting dressed as a ghost or a pirate or any of her favorite cartoon character, why should I allow my or the society’s prejudice against Western celebrations stand in the way of her happiness? She spent the first three years of her life in China- a country that despises religion and any traditions thereof. She had one of her best Halloween parties in her school there. All of us dressed up as pirates and enjoyed the day without thinking of the fact that the day is about remembering the dead. Considering it an attack on Indian culture and a move to lead our children away from their religious beliefs is just pitiful. It is alright, if you as a parent do not want to celebrate Halloween. But before writing the “no, thank you” note to the school or the friend for the Halloween party invitation, take a moment to ask your kid if they want to join in the celebration.

Until a few years back, celebrating Valentine’s Day was vehemently opposed everywhere, the reason being cited was that it was against Indian culture. Valentine’s Day was never about making out in public places or sneaking out of your home to elope with your boyfriend. It is about love, not just between couples but also between families, friends and even foes. It is just a day to celebrate your love for everyone in your life. It has been commercialized to make it bigger and lots of marketing gimmicks are on display on the day. But it’s still a good day to celebrate, put some effort to reach home early, dine out together and be thankful for the ones who love you.

We celebrate Vishu, Easter, Onam, Diwali, Christmas, Rakshabandhan, New Year and Holi at our home. The absence of Muslim festivals in the list is not due go any religious bias, but due to sheer absence of knowledge on how these festivals need to be celebrated. Thanksgiving is one tradition that I am yet to adopt into my family. But since it involves eating Turkey and other interesting food, my husband might just convince me to celebrate it this year. I do not really know what Thanksgiving signifies in American culture, but I can adapt it to my household to mean that I am thankful for the full plate of food that I get to eat all through the year.

No nation, society or culture can survive as a standalone entity in today’s world. With immigration, exchange of information and increased ease of traveling, there is bound to be some crossover of customs, traditions and rituals across the world. Opposing a tradition just for its origin seems as bad as opposing the entry of a foreigner into your home for fear of him erasing the traditions of your home. While we adopt Western traditions and celebrations, our Holi and Diwali are being celebrated by lots of non-Indians across the globe. We have wholeheartedly adopted Western concepts like New Year celebrations, continental dining and even Western commodes. Then, why close our hearts and mind to some celebrations that just give you some more opportunities to meet your near ones or meet new friends. Why does it have to be judged for it’s religious and regional connotations, rather than being treated as an opportunity to eat, meet and greet? Isn’t that basic purpose of any good celebration?

I love to meet up with my family and friends for one reason or the other as long as the reason is a good one. As long as I am not celebrating Adolf Hitler’s birthday or the death of some person, I don’t think anybody should have any objection to what customs I choose to follow and judge it as bad. Why does everything have to be an ugly spat about our culture versus Western culture. Both cultures have good, bad and ugly aspects; adopt the good aspects, improve and learn lessons from the bad and work towards eradicating the ugly.

P. S. I was brought up a Hindu and have learned my stotras and prayers at home. I haven’t forgotten even one of them (in fact have added to my daily prayers) after 9 years of being married to a non-Hindu. I respect elders, dress modestly in their presence and try not to get into arguments with them. Your culture and traditions will stay with you as long as you respect and follow it. If taking part in one or two Western celebrations threatens your customs and beliefs, then it just means you do not trust yourself to hold on to them despite adverse circumstances.

How to Buy the Perfect Onam Dress for Baby Girl?

Onam, a colorful holiday celebrated in Kerala, is a time for joy and celebration. Putting your baby girl in a lovely Onam attire as you get ready to celebrate this important event with your family adds to the festive mood. Putting your newborn girl in a sweet Onam attire will make your Onam celebrations even more joyful and festive. Here are some useful hints to help you find the ideal Onam dress for baby girl.

Here are some tips to consider when buying an Onam dress for a baby girl:

Comfort

When selecting an Onam attire for your baby girl, comfort should come first. Choose supple, breathable materials like cotton that will keep her cool and at ease all day.

Size

Make sure to get the Onam dress for baby girl in the appropriate size. To select the perfect fit, take into account her age and dimensions. Always choose a little larger size to accommodate for growth if you're unsure.

Conventional Design

Since Onam is a traditional event, look for outfits that capture its unique cultural spirit. For infant girls, traditional attire from Kerala like kasavu sarees or pavada sets with golden borders are popular choices.

Durability

Choose Onam dress for a baby girl that is well-made and long-lasting because babies can be very active and fun. To make sure it can resist use and abuse, examine the stitching and fabric quality.

Simple to Wear

 For dresses, look for ones that are simple to put on and take off. Dresses with buttons or snaps make it simple to change a baby girl's diaper or quickly get her dressed.

Shades and patterns

Choose outfits with bold colors and cheery designs since Onam is known for its colorful celebrations. Traditional designs using peacocks, elephants, or floral patterns can heighten the joyful atmosphere.

To Wrap Up

You may locate the ideal Onam dress for a baby girl that will make your little princess sparkle during this auspicious occasion by taking into consideration comfort, size, traditional style, quality, easy dressing, brilliant colors, accessories, upkeep, budget, and start your search early. Before going outfit shopping for Onam, set a budget to make sure you can afford it. Create enduring memories with your gorgeous newborn girl while taking in the festivities!

To avoid any last-minute rush or disappointment, begin your search and purchase for the Onam dress much in advance.

5 Prominent Indian States Well-Known for their Customs & Costumes

India’s rich cultural diversity is probably the greatest gift that God has ever given to mankind. Accurately mirrored in a vast spectrum of customs and costumes, India’s rich heritage has been aptly visualized by the bard and Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore in these lines extracted from his poem “Dispenser of the Destiny of India”, the first stanza of which has been adopted as India’s national anthem:

“We heed to your gracious call The Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis, Muslims and Christians, The East and the West come together, to the side of your throne And weave the garland of love.”

Standing in the 21st century if one had to inhale the beauty of India’s diversity in one breath, he shall have a Himalayan task at hand. With so much to see, feel and experience, it is advisable to explore it in the costumes and cultures of places located in these five different Indian states, each of which is unique in terms of its ethnic wear, festivities and traditions.

Leh-Ladakh: Frozen in Time and Rooted in Tibetan Buddhist Traditions

Photo: https://goo.gl/Q9pr4d

The crowning jewel of India, Leh-Ladakh, located in the state of Jammu & Kashmir, makes time stand still in the frozen and arid landscape of the Himalayas. The biting cold of the region, heavy snowfall, sporadic cloud bursts and snow caped mountains leave their imprint on the ethnic dress code of the local inhabitants of Ladakh. Men sport the traditional thick woollen robe called the “Goucha” that is fastened at the neck and tied at the waist with a sash called the “Skerag”. Women wear a similar robe called the “Kuntop” and sport a shawl on their back called the “Bok” that allows them to carry a baby or essentials of daily chores. Women in Ladakh also wear a traditional hat made of Yak wool or leather called the “Perak”. The “Perak” has three, five, seven or nine streaks of colours, depending upon the social standing of the incumbent. Nick named the Last Shangrila and also the Little Tibet, Leh-Ladakh has strong imprints of Tibetan Buddhism. A major festival is the Hemis, celebrated on the tenth day of the lunar calendar of the Tibetan month to commemorate the birth anniversary of Padmasambhava, the Buddhist monk that along with BhikhuShankarakshita is credited with establishing Buddhism in Leh-Ladakh in the eighth century.

Arunachal Pradesh: The Land of the Rising Sun in India

Photo: https://goo.gl/YbqBQC

From Leh-Ladakh in the north, the garland of Himalayas stretches to the far end of the north eastern region of India. Arunachal Pradesh, known as the land of the rising sun in India is the home to 26 different ethnic tribes and 100 sub-tribes. Each tribe in Arunachal Pradesh follows a unique dress code that is rooted in its folklore, mythology and culture. As on today, major tribes in Arunachal Pradesh include the Adi, Aka, Galo, Nyishi, Apatani, Sherdukpen, Bori, Tagnis, Miji and Bokar. The Apatani tribes use fibres from trees, goats, yaks, deer, bear and human hair to create strikingly beautiful coats, shawls, skirts, sashes and loin clothes that are embellished with various forms of embroidery work. Among other major tribes the Sherdukpen males wear sleeveless silk material of knee length with edges attached to shoulders, while the women wear sleeveless dresses till knee length with a full embroidery jacket. The West Kameng and Tawang districts of Arunachal Pradesh are highly influenced by Tibetan Buddhism. The fourteenth Dalai Lama was born in Tawang. Festivals like the Torgya celebrated on the 28th day of the 11th month of the lunar calendar at the Tawang monastery draw thousands of visitors from India, Western Europe and South East Asia. The bonfire offering of Torma to bonfire symbolizes the destruction of all evil.

Rajasthan: Sagas of Steel and Sand Soaked in Royalty

Photo: https://goo.gl/dssoch

If there is any place on earth where arid sands narrate a history of valour, chauvinism and pride, it is Rajasthan. The people of Rajasthan led by the local martial race of the Rajputs love their culture, language, music and costumes. The bright colours, designs and embroideries of Rajasthani costumes are an instant hit with travellers from foreign lands. Male attire in Rajasthan consists of turbans, dhoti or pyjama and a kurta. Turbans worn by people offer an insight into their social standing and ethnic origin. People from Udaipur wear flat turbans, while those from Jaipur sport angular turbans with curved bands. Men born into the warrior caste of Kshatriya wear an Angarakha made up of cotton and can portray either a frock style or waist length. The attire of women in Rajasthan consists of a Ghaghara; an ankle length long skirt with narrow waist. Common print styles of the Ghaghara include laharia, mothra and chunari and popular colour codes include red, maroon and dark pink dotted with streaks and dots of yellow. The look becomes complete with shoes called the Jooti made of sheep, camel or goat skin. On festive occasions like Dhulandi, Diwali, Holi or the famous camel fair in Pushkar, men wear silk dhotis with a Zari border. It is customary for women in Rajasthan to wear bangles that cover their entire hands.

Chhattisgarh: Baptized in the Name of Thirty Six Forts

Photo: https://goo.gl/F5EaGv

Chhattisgarh derives its name from a legend that there once existed thirty six forts in the period leading to the British Raj. The proximity of Chhattisgarh to Jharkhand and Odisha on the east and Maharashtra on the west means that the state lies in the tribal inhabited stretch of India endowed with the riches of minerals, mined and metals along with a beautiful lush green and dense forest cover. Chhattisgarh is the home of tribes who are the indigenous colors of India such as Gond, Korba, Baiga, Bison Horn Maria, Abhuj Maria and Muria that stay in and protect the natural endowments in the forest areas. Gonds; the major community in the state are known for their unique Ghotul system of marriage and tribal dance forms like the Salai, Suwa and Karma. All tribes of Chattisgarh are proud of their heritage and carry their costumes as symbols of tribal legacy. Both men and women love to wear bright and colourful ethnic tribal attire. A major highlight of tribal wear is jewellery made of metal casts, silver templates and wood. Tribal men wear dhotis made of cotton and linen and top it with head gear that reflects tribal design styles. Tribal women in Chhattisgarh wear silk, linen or cotton saris of knee length that are painted in bright colours with molten wax, called Kosa silk or the lost wax art.

Kerala: Backwaters, Houseboats and Ayurveda; Chicken Soup for the Soul

Photo: https://goo.gl/RfAjFE

Legend has it that Lord Parasurama had recovered Kerala from beneath the seas by throwing his axe to force back the waters. Consequently, Kerala is also called Parasurama Kshteram. There is a certain alluring charm in the natural beauty of Kerala and the natural healing powers of Ayurveda. In fact Kerala is the birthplace of the age-old science of Ayurveda and the amazing tranquillity in its lush green environment augments the recovery of patients from ailments. The lazy elegance of houseboats gliding on the backwaters in Kerala, the ancient temples and a colourful festive calendar dotted with Onam, Vishu and Theyyam and the historical places and monuments that narrate the confluence of the native Syrian Christians, the Malabar Muslims and Dravidian Hindus aptly justify the rationale behind people from across the world lavishing praise on the visual treat in the God’s own country. The fact that white colour defines the most common colour code of the attires of both men and women, only reflects the peaceful ambience of Kerala.
