Spring festival that celebrates the diversity of India
Baisakhi in Punjab. Bohag Bihu in Assam. Poila Baisakh in West Bengal. Vishu in Kerala. Pudu Varsham in Tamil. Of Good Friday and Easter Sunday In the Roman Catholic Church, liturgical service is held on this day. The liturgy, now celebrated after 3 p.m., consists of three distinct parts: readings and prayers (including the Passion according to St. John), the veneration of the cross, and the communion (in place of the Liturgy of the pre-sanctified which developed in the Middle Ages). April 14, 2006: Unique day in Kerala's calendar Vishu, the Malayalam New Year's Day, and Good Friday on the same day - a coincidence that marked a clash of emotions in Kerala with the day signifying all-round happiness for Hindus but mourning for Christians who recall Christ's crucifixion. A splash of myths on Holi! As myriad as the delectable greens, yellows and reds that hang in the air on Holi are the legends woven around it. And the rich harvest of myths makes for equally diverse festivities across India. |
