Annapurna Ghee | Festive Season | Diwali celebration
It's a special mishti. It is even given to Lord Jagannath at the Puri temple. The consistency varies. Many cook it down further to make small borfis or any or shape out of it. I like it a bit softer and runny. The ghee makes it glorious with the beautiful caramelised nutty flavour that ultimately comes out of cooking the semolina over time. It's been a couple of years that I have been using Annapurna Cow ghee for making sweets at home and the result is always terrific. This Diwali, try out this humble mishti and cook it only with pure cow ghee like Annapurna Cow ghee. And in case you want the detailed recipe, comment 'mohonbhog' in the caption.

Explain the basic: Offerings
Desclaimer: Everything I will talk about is information that I got from books and sites online and even videos on YouTube. In my years of practice, I learned as much as I could out of curiosity and what works best for me. I suggest you do the same by learning as much as you can on your own (I will be here making posts teaching this kind of stuff) from multiple sources.
Offering to deities and entities in general is a practice found in many cultures and religions around the world. Every deity or entity that you make an offering for has its own symbol. For example, Apollo is the god of the sun; music, art, and poetry; writing something or singing for him can be offerings. 
Tumblr media
There are many religions that take on the act of offering as a sign of respect and devotion to that specific religion. Here are some examples:
Hinduism: Offerings (puja) often include fruits, flowers, incense, and food, placed before images of deities in temples or home altars.
Buddhism: Offerings may include candles, incense, flowers, and food, placed before statues of the Buddha and bodhisattvas.
Christianity: Candles, bread, and wine are common offerings, especially in the context of the Eucharist.
Shinto: Offerings of rice, sake, and other food items are made at shrines to honor kami (spirits or gods).
Paganism and Wicca: Offerings might include seasonal fruits, flowers, wine, and personal tokens, placed on altars dedicated to specific deities or nature spirits.
All these religions have common practices that we can see and see over time; all of those are not rules but more something you can do or not do. (Especially because no one has the same opportunities.)
Altars: A dedicated space where offerings are made. This can be a simple shelf at home or an elaborate structure in a temple.
Purity: Many traditions emphasize the importance of purity in the offerings, meaning they should be clean and handled with respect.
Timing: Offerings are often made at specific times, such as during festivals, holy days, or particular phases of the moon.
Intention: The mindset and intention behind the offering are crucial. It should be given with respect, devotion, and a pure heart.
Tumblr media
These offerings can take various forms, each carrying its own significance and purpose. Here's an overview of the different types of offerings and the common practices associated with them:
Types of Offerings
Food and Drink:
Fruits, grains, and vegetables: Often used in offerings to symbolize abundance and gratitude.
Cooked meals: Specific dishes that are favored by the deity or entity.
Drinks: This can include water, wine, milk, or other beverages. In some traditions, alcoholic drinks like mead or sake are common.
Sweets and desserts: Cakes, candies, or other sweet treats, especially those that are traditional or culturally significant.
Flowers and Plants:
Fresh flowers: Often chosen for their beauty and fragrance. Certain flowers are associated with specific deities.
Herbs:: Sacred or medicinal herbs may be offered for their symbolic properties.
Incense and Aromatics:
incense: Burned to create a fragrant smoke that is believed to please the deities.
Essential oils: Used for anointing or in diffusers to create a sacred atmosphere.
Candles and Lights:
Candles: Lit to symbolize light, purity, and the presence of the divine.
Oil lamps: Used in many traditions, often with ghee or olive oil.
Objects and Symbols:
Statues or images: Placed on altars as representations of the deity or entity.
Jewelry or precious items: Offered as a sign of respect and devotion.
Money and Valuables:
Coins or currency: Offered in temples or shrines, sometimes used to support the upkeep of the place of worship.
Jewelry or precious items: Given as a form of sacrifice or in seeking favor.
Actions and Devotions:
Prayers and chants: Recited to honor the deity or entity.
Songs and music: Played or sung as a form of praise.
Dance: Performed in some cultures as an offering of movement and energy.
Tumblr media
Conclusion
Offering to deities and entities is a deeply personal and culturally rich practice. It serves as a way to connect with the divine, show gratitude, seek blessings, and maintain a reciprocal relationship with the spiritual world. The specific items and practices may vary, but the underlying principles of respect, devotion, and intention remain consistent across different traditions.

Diwali with the Touchstarved LIs !!!
Quick little note, this is my first time doing anything like this so I’m sorry if it’s wonky and a bit out of character :’) also I’ll add the translations for some things at the end !!
—————
- For the puja, I think Kuras would be in charge of making the diyas
- Someone would have to make the sweets so uh I feel like Mhin could be a decent cook, Ais would cook out of nescessity, and Leander could cook well as long as someone makes sure he doesnt start experimenting and make whatever that gooey green drink was....
- Leander would buy the laddoos, and would assist Mhin in making the kheer
- Vere would be in charge of the rangoli, and obviously it’s going to look spooktacular (monster high reference, I can’t stop saying it.)
- During the puja, the MC/reader would be in charge of it because uh idk maybe they happen to be Indian so…!!! (Are there other Indian Touchstarved fans please where are you guys 💔)I feel like Vere would kind of be away from it because of the bell and I feel like he would have sensitive hearing because well, fox ears guy!!
- Mhin and Ais would DEVOUR all of the sweets after the puja
- For the first prayer song moment I feel like it would go well, then the second one Vere may try to annoy someone idk Mhin maybe and then everything spirals…
- it’s okay eventually everything calms down and we get to do fireworks !!
- Ais and Leander would go crazy with the fire bang or snaps or whatever those are called I don’t know 😞 they’d get into a competition on who can throw down the whole bag and get all of them to explode at once
- Mhin would look at the sparkler in their hand like Howl Pendragon looking at the star
- Vere would try to light everyone but Ais on fire. You’re next. Run.
- Okay time for fireworks show time !!
- Vere loves looking at the fountain of colors exploding in the sky, but would hate how loud it sounds
- Kuras and Ais likes all of the fireworks, he isn’t bothered by the noise or blinding colors, he admires them all.
- Leander seems like the guy to love fireworks, and the type of guy to start saying some huge festival speech that the others tune out
- I don’t think Mhin would like fireworks at all because of how flashy and loud it is, so they’d be inside consuming the rest of the kheer or chugging some falooda
- Or Leander dragged them out because festival time!! We must be together!! Friendship!!!! So now they’re by Kuras covering their ears and glaring at Leander
- Eventually everyone calmed down and finally looked at the fireworks
- Happy ending.
——-
Hey y’all sorry for the abrupt stop, I’m exhausted. I have so many art ideas and fic ideas all while being a student and it’s exhausting, so this is bad I know. Anyway the translations
Puja- it’s basically worshipping or prayer time.
Diyas- 🪔 THERES AN EMOJI FOR IT anyway it looks like that! The way my family does it is we have the little clay cup part and a piece of cotton, twist it, put it in the cup with some ghee(a specific type of butter) and boom you got a diya
Laddu/laddoo- for this you have to search up… it’s this orange colored and spherical shaped sweet, but i don’t know what it’s made of
Kheer- Indian rice pudding 10/10
falooda- kind of a milkshake, with basil seeds and sev (noodle things) inside, and it’s scrumptious there’s multiple flavors the the rose flavor is the best and iconic one 10/10

ISKON TEMPLE, SILIGURI ✨
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I was confused with what is to be done, in life... And tbh, I got every answer, when I visited his sacred place✨🥺
Visited Iskon, this time with my camera, to get some pics too...
"Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna hare hare, hare Ram o hare Ram o, Ram o Ram o hare hare"
"Hari bol"
For those who would like to read a short story, about Lord Krishna, can read it below:
Sadhguru: In the pastoral community in which Krishna lived, there was a yearly festival and sacrifice, which was a very major ritual in the area, known as Indrotsav. Indrotsav means the celebration of Indra, who was considered the king of gods. He was also the god of rain, lightning and thunder. The festival used to be a big sacrifice with many rituals conducted around a fire. All kinds of offerings were made to the sacrifice, and enormous amounts of ghee, milk, and various grains were used. It is a certain process to create a certain situation, and it used to happen in a colossal way.
When he was 15, because Nanda was the chief of the community, Krishna got the opportunity of being the chief person to conduct the sacrifice. It was a great honor for a person in that society to be what was known as a Yajamana for the sacrifice. The Yajamana is the one who offers and leads the sacrifice. It was offered to him by his preceptor whose name was Gargacharya. But Krishna refused and said, “I don’t want to be the Yajamana. I don’t want to participate in that sacrifice.” Gargacharya was shocked. Anyone would grab an opportunity like this because it raises your social status in a huge way. So he asked Krishna, “Why?”
Krishna looked away and said, “I don’t think I am fit for such things. Let someone else do it.”
Gargacharya said, “No, last year your elder brother did it. Now it’s your turn. If there is anyone fit to do this, it’s you. Why are you saying such a thing? Tell me what is on your mind.”
“I don’t like this sacrifice.”
“What do you mean you don’t like the sacrifice? This is the greatest thing that we can do in the society. This is a tradition we have carried on for thousands of years. In the very Vedas it says Indrotsav is a sacrifice of enormous significance. How can you say you don’t like it? You are a mere boy.”
“I don’t like people doing any kind of sacrifice out of their fear for some god. I don’t like this worship which is coming from fearfulness. People fear that if they don’t make this sacrifice, Indra will punish them. I don’t like to participate in something which is coming from people’s fear.”
This struck Gargacharya, and he smiled and said, “Okay, then. What else shall we do?”
“We will do Gopotsav. Let’s celebrate the cowherds, not some fearful god sitting up there. I love the people around me. The gopas, the gopis, the cows, these trees, this river, Mount Govardhan – this is our life. It is these people, these animals, these trees and this mountain which sustain and nourish us and which make our life happen here. Why should I worship some other god of which you are all afraid? I am not afraid of any god. If we must celebrate and offer sacrifice, we will do Gopotsav.” The whole idea and process of what Krishna did was to celebrate the ordinary. He lived his life like it was a festival. Even as a child, when he was just six, he said many beautiful things about himself. One thing he said was, “When I wake up in the morning, when I hear the cows mooing and my mother calling each cow by its name before milking them, I know it is time to rub my eyes and smile.”
There was a huge reaction in the community to Krishna’s idea. People questioned him, “How can you just write off something that has been happening for hundreds of years? It is our tradition. How can you just drop it? And if Indra gets angry what will he do to us? He may flood this place.”
Krishna said, “If you want me to be the Yajamana it has to be Gopotsav. It has to be a celebration out of our love and joy, not out of fear. We will just make a symbolic offering to the fire. We will eat and drink the rest of the milk and ghee.”
So, the village was split into two – the people who were not willing to give up the tradition were a small, splinter group, and they performed Indrotsav. Krishna and the majority of the community performed the Gopotsav. But after the Gopotsav happened, Krishna went and participated in the Indrotsav also. He had no resistance to it, he was just bringing sense to life.
So he’s a living celebration. He lived as a celebration. Even if he was in war even then he went up fully dressed with a peacock feather. He’s not a vain man but he’s absolutely committed to make every aspect of his life into a celebration, every aspect of his life into a festivity. He will not make anything into a drab process. For Krishna life is a festival.

The thing that I love about Jewish food is that across our wonderful and diverse communities, we often eat pretty much the same dishes, with slight variations in name, flavor and technique. For example, the typical Iraqi Hanukkah sweet zalabia  — a delicious fried, yeasted funnel cake soaked in a sticky and intensely sweet syrup  — is essentially the same as Syrian zalabiah (although theirs is a different shape) and Indian jalebi, both also eaten on Hanukkah.
This makes perfect sense, as Jews who originated from Spain spread across the world after the Inquisition, taking their recipes with them across the Middle East. There are documented recipes for zalabia in a 10th-century Arabic cookbook, which was originally made by pouring the batter through a coconut shell. The recipes were slightly adapted according to their new surroundings, including zalabia. Indian Jews, for instance, use ghee and turmeric, two very common ingredients in Indian cooking; Syrian Jews use orange blossom water as the main flavor of their syrup for similar reasons.
Our family makes Iraqi zalabia, and very little has changed through the ages. I love the nostalgia that Hanukkah holds for so many of us; the memories of watching parents and grandparents frying treats — be they zalabia, sfenj, latkes or any of the other delicacies Jews enjoy at this time of year — waiting for the chance to taste them. 
This year, my 5-year-old son stands next to me as I fry the zalabia  — he is responsible for dunking  them into the syrup, licking his sugary fingers as he goes, I’m sure, and admiring his handy work at the end.  
In these troubled times, it brings me reassurance to think of the culinary traditions that have stood the test of time, through wars and atrocities. I am comforted that, like the Hanukkah story itself, we will come out the other side victorious — perhaps with a new festival or culinary traditions to celebrate the time in 2023 when Hamas attempted, and failed, to slay the Jewish people.

oooh is it Holi tomorrow? :DD can you give us some ideas or headcanons about James celebrating Holi with his parents/Sirius/Harry? <33
Honestly, depending on a few factors, everyone celebrates Holi on a different day (the traditions for Holi are different depending on the sect of Hinduism and region of celebration as well). Also, North Indian होली and Maharashtrian होळी (search up the differences in pronunciation, it's a bit hard to describe) are two completely different religious holidays. The Hindi होली (ho-lee) is equivalent to the Marathi "ranga panchami" (ranga- colour, panchami- fifth day of a lunar cycle). As far as I know, the Marathi होळी doesn't have an equivalent.
The traditions I'm going by are my family traditions— the Marathi traditions of my region— so i hope you enjoy. Let's goooo!
Oh yeah, this is before Harry turns eleven and goes to Hogwarts.
The day of होळी signifies the first day of spring in Maharashtra. Every year, the members of the Black-Potter family start the day by watching the sunrise together with cups of spicy chaha (marathi for chai).
The day is pretty much the usual, except for food. James cooks up a storm in the kitchen, making all the pancha pakwaan (pancha- five, pakwaan- dishes) with puran poli (a sweet flatbread), three different vegetables, rice, amti (somewhat like daal, either drunk from the bowl or poured over rice), and a traditional dessert. They invite the Weasleys, the Marauders and the Longbottoms over, and have a veritable feast for lunch and dinner. A very chaotic affair, but the Black-Potters love it.
All three of them absolutely adore panchamrut (pancha- five, amrut- nectar of the Gods. It's made of five ingredients- milk, ghee, sugar, curd, honey). Once James is done with his pooja and the naividya (the first morsel/sip of any food/drink is always offered to the Gods), the three of them pounce on the drink with all the vigour of someone who hasn't had anything to eat for days.
As the evening draws closer, Harry, the Weasley kids, Neville, and Lily and Remus out to the woods that surround the house and collect dried wood for. Meanwhile, James, Sirius and Peter gather the panchamrut and a bite each of the pancha pakwaan, and ready the porch for lighting a safe fire with the help of the Molly, Arthur, Augusta, Alice and Frank.
Just as the sun sets, the bonfire is lit, and the blaze reaches high into the sky within minutes, helped along by magic. Everyone sits around it in a circle, closing their eyes and praying— the fire signifies the destruction of the bad energy of the previous year and the purification of the soul for a better new year. Holi is the first day of spring, a mark of new beginnings, a symbol of clean slates and fresh starts. The Holi fire is where you throw all your baggage of the last year so it burns till it is gone, to prepare yourself for the upcoming year.
The pancha pakwaan and panchamrut are poured into the fire to loud cheers from the children, and then the real festivities begin. Everyone walks around the fire in a circle, howling at the top of their lungs. The sounds are slightly terrifying, especially when the darkness really sets in and the only light is the massive bonfire, but Harry loves the ferality of the entire thing. It's primal, the way the war cries rise up with the fire, echoing throughout the massive grounds of Potter Manor like the echoes of screaming ghosts.
Sometimes, Harry, Ginny and the Weasley twins start war dances instead of the howling. Those times, Bill and Charlie eagerly join in along with James, Lily and Alice, and the hard and fast thumping of their feet on the packed mud porch makes it seem like an earthquake is cracking the ground open.
Other times, they write their mistakes, insecurities, bad thoughts and regrets of the past year onto slips of paper and throw them into the fire, to signify the new start. Last year does not matter anymore; it is done and you cannot change it. You can have a new beginning, though, and Harry vows every year that he will be a better person.
James loves these times, where everyone he cares about is close to him and glowing with happiness. Holi is his favourite festival, because it is the day he and Sirius kissed for the first time. It is the day he remembers with fondness— childhood years spent with his parents and grandparents and cousins in a crowded wada (kind of like a palace but the size varies from anywhere between four bedrooms to like 70), sneaking panchamrut from under his mother's nose, dancing Garba around the fire with his Gujju friends in India, the day the Potter family first moved to Britain right before his 11th birthday. People expect his favourite festival to be Diwali or Ganpati Chaturthi because they are loud and huge and phenomenal celebrations, but his favourite is this— all his favourite people in the same place with the same happy smile and the same traditions that he loved when he had blood family.
Holi is a festival for families and loved ones, and the Black-Potters have a lot of love to go around. Family isn't defined by blood, after all.
