Festivals of harvest – How India celebrates its farmers and worships its farms


Festivals have a special place in the Indian ethos. Being a very diverse country, full of rich heritage and mythology, various regions of India celebrate festivals that define their cultural background and tradition. Festivals are marked by traditional attire, mouth-watering food and several rituals and festivities. Each region adds a regional flavour to festivals and so you will notice that different states celebrate festivals differently.

Harvest festivals have a special significance in India. Being a large country with varied geography and climatic conditions, the cropping patterns are very diverse in India. This leads to different regions celebrating festivals at different times of the year. In addition, India is an agrarian economy with agriculture at its backbone. Over 80% of the rural population depends on agriculture for their primary income. Indians treat mother earth with reverence and owe their growth and prosperity to nature. Harvest festivals are a way of expressing gratitude for the abundance that nature showers on us and are therefore celebrated with great fervour.

Harvest is celebrated differently in each state. The festival Pongal is celebrated in the state of Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra celebrates Gudi Padwa and Punjab celebrates Lohri.  Every festival includes religious ceremonies and feasts. People come together as a community and express gratitude for a bountiful harvest and recognize the hard work that has gone into the cultivation. These harvest festivals also serve as a social and cultural bonding opportunity. In many communities, these festivals also mark the end of an agricultural cycle and a beginning of a new year.

Despite being rooted in tradition, these festivals also reflect the contemporary values and styles of the people who celebrate them. Let us explore these festivals in detail.

Pongal/ Makar Sankranti

Pongal is a traditional harvest festival celebrated in Tamil Nadu. It marks the start of a new Tamil month “Thai” and is therefore often called “Thai Pongal”. Usually, Pongal falls on January 14th every year. Pongal is also a dish made with rice and a lentil called moong dal. There are two varieties of Pongal: a sweet one made with jaggery and ghee called “Chakkarai Pongal” and a savoury one made with fresh ginger, pepper and ghee called “Ven Pongal”. The dishes are offered to the Sun God along with freshly harvested sugarcane, turmeric, and ginger shoots. Chants of “Pongal O Pongal” are in the air during the preparation of the Pongal dish.

In Maharashtra and Karnataka, Makar Sankranti is celebrated with an exchange of multicoloured halwa (a sticky sweet) and Ladoo (balls made of sesame and jaggery). Lunch normally has a sweet flatbread called Puran Poli. Women normally dress in black. After a bath and exchange of sweets, people also fly kites.

Lohri

Lohri is celebrated in the northern states of Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi. It is celebrated on January 13th every year and marks the end of winter. During Lohri, people light bonfires and sing folk songs. Traditional Punjabi delicacies and freshly harvested and roasted corn are generally offered to everyone. Traditional food like Sarson ka Saag (mustard greens), Makki ki roti (flatbread made of corn flour), radish, jaggery and peanuts are consumed. Sugarcane is also used and sesame seeds and jaggery combine to make a sweet called “Tilcholi”.

Bihu

Bihu is celebrated in Assam and marks the beginning of the Assamese new year. It is celebrated thrice during the agrarian calendar. The first Bihu is known as the Bohag Bihu or Rongali Bihu and is celebrated for a period of seven days.  It celebrates the onset of spring. People wear traditional attire and make feasts. The next Bihu is the Kati Bihu which is a subdued occasion and is celebrated to seek blessings from God so that no harm comes to the crops as they are getting ready for harvest. The last Bihu is known as Magh Bihu which marks the end of the harvest season. There is a lot of food and entertainment and farmers generally celebrate.

Onam

Onam is the harvest festival of Kerala and is generally celebrated in August/ September. The festival lasts for ten days and culminates on a day called “Tiruvonam”. People draw traditional patterns in front of their homes and decorate them with fresh flowers. This is significant and is called “Pookolam”. A traditional feast called “Onam Sadhya” which is made of seasonal vegetables like yam, cucumber, ash gourd, and many others is served. The meal is served on plantain leaves and has many courses and includes over two dozen dishes. These include banana chips, Sharkaraveratti (jack fruit), Pappadam, Injipuli, Thoran, Mezhukkupuratti, Kaalan, Olan, Avial, Sambhar, Dal, Erisheri, Rasam, Puliseri, Kichadi, and Pachadi, as well as various vegetable and soups such as Injipuli, Thoran, Mezhukkupuratti, Kaalan, Olan, Avial, Sambaram (buttermilk or curd diluted in water), sweet and sour pickles, and coconut chutney. The meal concludes with a dessert called payasam (a sweet dish made with milk, sugar, jaggery, and other traditional Indian flavours). The curries are served with rice, usually the parboiled rice known as ‘Kerala Matta’ in Kerala.

Chhath Pooja

Chhath pooja is the harvest festival of Bihar, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh. It is celebrated in October/ November and is dedicated to the Sun God. People offer arghya (water) to the Sun God and take a dip in holy rivers. The word “Chhath” means sixth and the festival is celebrated on the sixth day of the month of Karthikeya. Festivities are observed over four days. Rituals like holy bathing, fasting, and abstaining from drinking water, standing in water for long periods of time and offering arghya and Prasad (offerings) to the Sun God. The most unique feature of Chhath pooja is that there is no idol worship.

Ugadi

Ugadi is celebrated in Karnataka, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh. Ugadi also marks the birth of a new year. It is considered auspicious to start new work and ventures on the day of Ugadi which is also a harvest festival. People take oil bath, wear traditional clothes, and decorate their home with traditional rangoli (artistic patterns made with rice flour) at their doorstep, and perform Ugadi pooja at home. Delicacies like Ugadi Pachadi, Pulihora, and Bobbatlu are prepared with raw mango, jaggery, neem, and tamarind.

Gudi Padwa

Gudi Padwa is celebrated as New Year in Maharashtra. Mangoes are picked and mark the harvest and conclusion of the Rabi crop for the season. A traditional Gudi or a bamboo stick is garlanded with flowers, neem and mango leaves and topped with cloth and an inverted silver or copper vessel (kalash). The Gudi is positioned prominently in the house or entrance symbolizing victory and prosperity. People have a ritualistic oil bath, wear new clothes, and draw rangoli (traditional patterns) outside their doors. Traditional Maharashtrian dishes such as Puran Poli (Sweet flatbread), Srikhand (sweet yoghurt) and poori bhaji (Fried bread with spicy curry) are made and served.

Conclusion

India has a rich and diverse cultural tradition. Harvest festivals are celebrated in different parts of the country and are a way for the farming community to show respect to mother earth and be grateful for the bountiful harvest that they have had. These festivals are also an occasion for communities to come together, and people of all classes, including labourers, to celebrate and share resources.

Christmas Cakes you Must try this festive season


The festive season is here, and with it comes the irresistible aroma of freshly baked cakes wafting through the air. Christmas is synonymous with cakes, with the rich flavours of traditional recipes bringing warmth and joy to holiday gatherings. Whether you love a classic plum cake, prefer an eggless cake, or are searching for a perfect Christmas Cake recipe. 

Plum Cake 

The Christmas season is never complete without plum cakes! Known for its dense texture, spiced aroma, and rich flavours, it’s the go-to cake for May. Contrary to its name, a traditional plum cake doesn’t necessarily include fresh plums. Instead, it is packed with soaked dried fruits like raisins, prunes, and dates that, sometimes, are soaked in rum or brandy weeks (even months) in advance, infusing a depth of flavour in the cake. 

Its richness, combined with subtle spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, makes it a perfect centerpiece for your christmas table. 

Eggless Cakes 

Eggless cakes are a fantastic option for a festive treat without eggs. Perfect for vegetarians or those with dietary restrictions, this cake doesn’t compromise on flavour or texture. Many Christmas cake recipes have eggless variations, including yoghurt, condensed milk, or applesauce, to achieve a similar texture and taste as traditional recipes. Eggless chocolate cake or a fruit and nut cake are popular options for Christmas cakes. 

Black Forest Cake 

A German delight, Black Forest cake is a festive treat with layers of chocolate sponge, whipped cream, and cherries. Although it’s not traditionally a christmas cake, its decadent chocolatey flavour and bright cherries make it a showstopper during the season. The snow-like whipped cream topping echoes the winder vibes.

Yule Log (Bûche De Noël)

The log-shaped cake represents the ancient tradition of burning the Yule Log during Christmas. Typically made of sponge cake rolled with cream and covered in chocolate ganache, this cake is as symbolic as it is delicious. Its intricate design often includes edible decorations like holly leaves, adding to the festive cheer. 

Stollen

Originating in Germany, stollen is a fruit bread with a marzipan centre dusted with powdered sugar. Its unique flavour comes from spices, dried fruits, and nuts, making it a cross between bread and cake. It’s said to symbolise baby Jesus wrapped in a blanket, making it deeply connected to Christmas. 

Panettone

This Italian Christmas Cake has gained worldwide popularity. Its light, airy texture and subtle sweetness come from candied fruits and raisins, making it a perfect companion for coffee or hot chocolate during the season. Panettone’s dome-shaped structure and soft crumb are as visually appealing as they are tasty. 

Red Velvet Cake 

While not exclusive to Christmas, this christmas cake has a perfect hue of red, making it the ideal choice to add to the festive mood. Its velvety texture and creamy frosting mirror the indulgence of the season. 

Dundee Cake 

Hailing from Scotland, Dundee cake is a lighter alternative to traditional fruitcake. It’s made with almonds, currants, and sultanas, and its signature look includes a neat arrangement of almonds on top. This cake’s subtle flavours are perfect for those who find traditional fruitcakes a little heavy.

Carrot Cake

Carrot cake’s moist texture and a hint of spice make it a cosy choice for christmas. The cream cheese frosting adds a layer of richness while using carrots and nuts, which gives it a wholesome feel. It’s excellent for a non-traditional yet festive treat. 

Gingerbread Cakes 

With warm spices like ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg, gingerbread cake is synonymous with Christmas. This cute and delicious Christmas cake is filled with comforting flavours, and the festive aroma evokes memories of holidays, baking and joy. 

Why Christmas Cakes are Special

Stress-Free Family Trips: Easy Tips for Traveling with Kids


A family trip is always a great way to get closer to your family. It allows us to create more memories with our loved ones while relaxing and enjoying a vacation. Making your trip stress-free requires careful preparation and a few things to consider. Here are some tips for a stress-free family trip. 

Tips for Pre-Planning 

There are many places for families to go on vacation, but preparations are the first thing to consider. Start by selecting your destination several times and months in advance. If you have young children, choose a place that allows for many exploring and kid-friendly activities. On the other hand, if you have slightly older kids, choose a place with Amusement parks, unique restaurants, and other fun places. 

Involve kids in planning. 

Kids love being given responsibility and the feeling of being in charge. Let them choose between different destinations, or if you have already decided on the destination, let them decide on a few places to go or activities they would like to do. 

The best way to check is to make an itinerary. The trip activities should make the whole family feel they chose to do them and were not forced to do so. These activities can quickly be done in summer since families can plan numerous summer holidays for the mountains or the sandbox.

Family Friendly Hotel

When you plan a vacation and end up with a place that your kids will not be comfortable in, it is a place that many might find a hassle. Many hotels and resorts have amenities such as children’s playgrounds, recreation areas, swimming pools, and family suites. Keep an eye out for free meals that include the children or accommodation that has a creche to allow the parents a little time out, too.

For families that enjoy adventures, you should organise family tours with the opportunity to live in tents, in the open air, like in an eco-residence or on a camp’s territory. These options allow children to discover the environment and experience an entirely different world—a beach or forest, for example.

Pack Smartly 

Packing can be very beneficial or very detrimental for a family trip. Take the bare minimum, but do not forget to put a little extra to keep children occupied while in transit or waiting for something. An array of tablets filled with movies, colouring books, puzzles, and travelling board games go a long way when on a long drive or a flight.

For instance, if you can observe fast-paced urban life, get some rest at a nearby park, and if you are at a seashore, take a walk at the beach. For families, recreation takes a summer trip, and there is always a tiny balance between sightseeing and napping to avoid boredom.

Plan for a Family Tour

When searching for great vacation destinations, you can fill your plan with practical tips for families with children. Some famous family holiday attractions include amusement parks, natural parks, beach resorts, and historical/cultural places. Some of the best places to visit with family are informative and fun at the same time, which is very helpful for groups with school-going kids. This way, you can educate your child while enjoying your vacation with them. 

Check on safety and health issues.

When planning family vacations, include adhesive bandages, wipes with antiseptic solution, and the necessary medicines. When travelling, update everyone’s immunisations; if you are travelling overseas, find the closest medical care, preferably of international standard. Some family tours also have measures to set safety precautions or even come with kid-friendly equipment. 

Go with the flow 

One thing that will help when going on vacation or family tours with children is being very flexible. While it is good to have an itinerary, it is also good to be flexible because sometimes the kids get bored or tired. If they are too exhausted from visiting a museum or site, they can go back to the hotel to take a nap, or if they prefer, they can walk to the next park to relax.

These usually have many options for what to do should one’s trip not go as planned and are always the best places to visit with family. Please do not try to accomplish too  much when on a family vacation.

Here are some tips for choosing the perfect wedding venue for your dream wedding. We also have that covered if you are looking for places to hold your wedding. Dive in as we get closer to your dream wedding venue!

Step 1: Plan your budget 

It is essential to plan for the different expenditures required for your wedding. From venue pricing to catering services and decorations, it is pertinent to keep a note of all these requirements. 

Tips for managing your venue budget:

  • Break down the cost estimate of the venue pricing 
  • Plan the wedding 8-9 months in advance. 

Step 2: Choose Your Wedding Style

  • Does the setting meet your expectations in the formal, informal, traditional or even modern style?
  • Do I need to add additional decorations to make the venue more grand, or is it good enough? 
  • Am I looking for luxury venues for weddings or something small and simple? 
  • Does this place accommodate the needs of my guests? 
  • Is this my dream wedding destination? 

Step 3: Consider the Guest List Size

The number of people you intend to invite for the wedding and wedding reception also determines the venue because you cannot invite hundreds of people to your home. If a hall is massive, when few people occupy it, it will appear empty. If the hall is small, it will be congested when filled with people. Remember that it is always good to remember how many people you expect to attend before you select your site.

Key considerations:

  • Have a guest list prepared for both your wedding and your wedding reception. If you invite different people for both occasions, have a separate guest list. 
  • Consider factors like – space for dining, sitting, dancing, and taking photos while choosing the venue. 
  • You should visit the venue in person to get a better idea of whether you can accommodate everyone.

Are enough spaces available for cars, or is there provision for public transport? Further, consider whether there may be refutable impedances due to the available facilities at the venue.

Location Tips:

  • If you anticipate many guests attending, select a venue near hotels or other accommodation places. Even better would be choosing a banquet hall inside a hotel. 
  • Ensure there are stands where they must board a vehicle or enough space to park their cars.
  • Check for accommodations for elderly or disabled patrons.

Venue Amenities:

  • Will catering be provided within the venue, or will you need a third-party caterer?
  • Will tables, chairs, linens and other products be included, or do you have to rent them for the event?
  • Check for proper dressing or green rooms for the bride and groom to change and get ready in

Step 5: Visit Venues in Person

For your wedding and wedding reception, you may get an Idea from pictures and descriptions you find online, but this does not give you a complete picture of a venue. One can only fully get a feel for the place by going there. You must note lighting, general hygiene, and staff demeanour when you are at the chosen site. Once you see the venue, you can make the call to see whether this is the place that is your calling for the wedding. ‘This is where I want to get married.’ Ask yourself that, and if the answer is yes, you have it – Your wedding venue.
