Pavitr Prabhakar Headcanons Part 2 (Festival Special)

I'm back with headcanons, this time focusing on our precious boy during our festivals!

He's heart broken when girls start avoiding him during Rakshabandhan (the Indian festival where girls tie Rakhi on their brother's wrist. Usually this happens in family but a lot of boys-girls who consider each other brother-sister do this as well) because he's always wanted a sister. (Well sorry Pavitr but I won't want you as a brother).

Has played Hanuman in Ram-Leela (the stage play of Ramayan, a major Hindu Epic) in Dusshehra (we celebrate the victory of Good over Evil). Wanted to be Shri Ram but was told that he's more of a Krishna than Ram.

BECOMES GOVINDA DURING KRISHNA JANMASHTAMI (the birth of Shri Krishna)!!! Ofc he does, he loves breaking the pot of maakhan (butter).

Ganesh Chaturthi (the birth of Lord Ganesh) is his favourite festival, dresses up the best during this, silk blue kurta with sleeves rolled up and plain white pajamas complete with mojri (a type of shoes).

Has cried once during Visarjan (immersion of idols of Bhagwan Ganesh after the end of festival) while screaming "agle baras tu jaldi aa!!" ("next year, come soon, God!")

Goes to his Muslim friends' house during Eid because sevai is delicious.

LOVES DIWALI. Would never forget to bring lotuses for Maa Lakshmi during the Puja. (and then jokingly say "Ma I brought you your favourite thing now you give me mine" and avsolutely refuses to say what he wants because "Ma already knows")

Lights up the entire house with Diyas only during Diwali and makes it look more serene than lights.

Cannot talk properly during Holi (festival of colors) because his mouth is always stuffed with gujia, malpua or Dahi Bara. Also his clothes in Holi are as colorful as his face.

Visits Gurudwara (the Sikh place of Worship) on the birth date of the Gurus because again the lungar is soo good.

Lol I typed this so fast and as soon as ideas came into my mind. More will come.

Holi party in noida  surpriseville

Have you ever thought that the sky is blue? Why are lands green? Why are the oceans blue? Why are marbles colorful? Why are butterflies so beautiful?

One of the things that is so common in everything is that every single thing on this earth has some specified colors, colors play a very important role in defining the beauty of a particular thing and every color is beautiful in itself.

What about celebrating the festival of colors? Yes we Indians are the most colorful in this world and every year to celebrate colors, to thank nature and the god and the every living being on this earth we celebrate the festival of colors. The festival holi has a direct impact on our livelihoods and everything else.

This is the festival of victory of good over bad, the festival of happiness, the festival of coloring the lives of people who have lost all the colors of their life, the festival when you have to make new relationships with strangers, the festival of all goodness and positivity.

In India this festival is called with different names in different states and is stated with different names in different parts of India. But the common thing is the enthusiasm and excitement for the festival. Everyone celebrates it with love and happiness. The food is the best part of Indian festivals and on holi special sweet gujia, pua and dahi bhalle are prepared to bring more sweetness to the festival.

In India many people visit the famous places like Mathura and barsana where this festival is celebrated for 40 days long. And celebrate holi with flowers, colors and waters. But the year of 2020 has been very vicious for us. So it won’t be possible to visit such places but what about bringing the Mathura at your own place. This is why Surprise Ville has organized the similar event in Noida sector 151.

Indian Desserts

Indian cuisine is recognized throughout the World as a sweet cuisine, because almost half of its dishes are either sweets or desserts. Actually, Indian sweets or mithai have made Indian food famous throughout history, and they have been accommodated to European and North American menus. Every Indian sweet has a particular taste and takes a long time to prepare. Sweets are presented during festive occasions and ceremonies. Sweets also signify good omen, happiness and prosperity. In India every happy occasion is marked with the distribution of sweets.

It is well known that Indian cuisine uses a lot of herbs and spices in their food, so it is not uncommon to see unique flavors and fragrances in their desserts.  They likewise incorporate a lot of milk, coconut milk, sugar, and dried fruits into their dishes. Another uncommon ingredient is rice, which is very abundant and widely eaten in all regions. Indian sweets can be divided into two main categories broadly. First category consists of milk-based sweets and the second category consists of flour-based sweets.

It was during 19th century renaissance in Bengal, Calcutta that witnessed the birth of several sweetmeat shops. Bengali sweets are not only famous in India but throughout the world. West Bengal is the undisputed king of sweet production.

Northen India produce a lot of buffalo milk, which is thicker than cow’s milk and forms very good quality mava when boiled and reduced. Therefore, sweets in this region are mainly made of khoya or mava. In the eastern part of India, cow`s milk is very abundant, so a lot of sweets are made of cottage cheese. Western part of India specialises in sweets like Puran poli, modak, Basundi etc. They are generally home made. South Indians use a lot of lentils and vegetables to make sweets and Halwa is a famous sweet eaten in South India.

Rassagolla, is a ball shaped dumpling made of chhena (an Indian cottage cheese) and semolina dough, cooked in light syrup made of sugar. It is one of the most popular sweetmeats in India, originated from the Eastern part of the country. Rasagolla was actually created in the temple town of Puri in the eastern state of Orissa, where it has been eaten since medieval times. The best rasagollas in Orissa are from the town of Salepur, near Cuttack . The fine art of making rasagollas was eventually transferred to Kolkata, West Bengal.

Another popular Indian dessert is the Payasam (or Kheer as it is called in Hindi). This dessert has been an essential dish throughout the history of India, being usually found at ceremonies, feasts and celebrations. In Southern India, it is believed that a wedding is not fully blessed if Payasam is not served at the wedding feast.

In the temples of Guruvayoor and Ambalappuzha the best and most popular Payasam dishes are found. In the Ambalappuzha temple, Payasam is served as part of a tradition, based on an ancient legend The legend states that Lord Krishna took the form of an old sage and challenged the king who ruled over that region to a game of chess. If victorious, the sage wanted an amount of rice grains for each square of the chess board, each pile having double the number of grains than the previous pile. Therefore, the first square would have only one grain of rice, the second would have 2 grains and the third would have 4 grains, and so on. The king lost, so he started placing grain piles on each square, starting with only one grain. He soon realized that by the 40th square or so, the entire kingdom`s rice reserve had finished and when he got to the last square he calculated that he would have to pay the sage 18,447,744 trillions of tons of rice, which was not possible for the King to pay back at a time. The sage then revealed his true form, that of Lord Krishna, and said that the king did not have to pay the debt then or at a go but the king would have to serve Payasam free of cost in the temple of Ambalappuzha, to pilgrims. The tradition of freely serving Payasam in Ambalappuzha is still continued.

Another dessert worth mentioning is The Shrikhand from Western India. It is a creamy dessert made out of strained yogurt, from which all water is drained off, leaving the thick yogurt cream. Preparation of this dish is very simple but it takes some time to process yogurt properly.A popular variation of shrikhand in Maharashtra is Amrakhand, which is shrikhand blended with mango pulp.

Listed below are some of the other popular sweets:

Gaajar ka halwa - rich carrot pudding loaded with nuts and dried fruits. It is traditionally eaten during all of the festivals in India, mainly on the occasion of Diwali, Holi, Eid al-Fitr and Raksha Bandhan

Different types of Holi celebrations in India

Holi, also known as the festival of colours, is one of the most important festivals celebrated in the country.

Clouds of colours in the air, kids running armed with pichkaris, gulal smeared faces, bhang spiked thandai, gujia and dahi vadas beautifully served in plates is how Holi is celebrated in different ways in India.

Though the way of celebrating the festival differs from state to state, but the spirit and enthusiasm remain the same.

There are multiple ways Holi is celebrated across the nation. Let’s have a look at them.

Lath Mar Holi in the Braj Region, Uttar Pradesh

The moment we hear the word Holi, we correlate it with Vrindavan and the Braj region. Traditionally associated with Lord Krishna, the localities in the Braj Region, like Agra, Mathura, Nandgaon, Vrindavan, and Barsana, are the major tourist attractions during the Holi season.

  This is the famous celebration of "Lathmar Holi" where lathmar women with their laathis (sticks) hit men with shields. . It is super fun to watch the whole ceremony from a distance where all the people from Vrindavan gather at the terrace and the windows of the houses to watch this practice. . .

In these localities, especially in Barsana, people celebrate Lath mar Holi in the Radha Rani temple’s compound. In this ritual, women beat up men with sticks (Lathi) as the men sing Holi songs. This unique form of celebration denotes men singing to gather women’s attention and women protecting themselves by chasing men away with sticks.

Kumaoni Khadi Holi

The uniqueness of the Kumaoni Holi lies in its being a musical affair in the form of Baithki Holi, Khari Holi and the Mahila Holi. The Baithki Holi and Khari Holi are unique in that the songs on which they are based have a touch of melody, fun and spiritualism. These songs are essentially based on classical ragas. No wonder then the Baithki Holi is also known as Nirvana Ki Holi or Holi of Salvation.

Dal Pitha or Pithi is a Bihari dish, eaten mostly during breakfast or in the evenings with chai.Dal in Hindi means legumes and pitha or pithi means dumplings made of whole wheat or fresh rice flour.

Not to say that the spicy variant is any less loved in the state.  Its style of preparation, makes Dal Pithas or Pithis one of the guilt-free snacks to binge on Because the dumpling is steamed.  And the  spicy dal filling is full of proteins and essential minerals. What a bonus right? 

Making these Pithas requires an artful attention to detail and like every traditional recipe- lots of patience. While the ingredients are bare minimum, a minor negligence can lead to hard pithas. For the filling, the chana dal is traditionally soaked for 4-5 hours or overnight and then grounded into a firm paste with a mix of chillies, ginger and garlic paste, and coriander leaves. After this, you need to knead the flour smoothly to make the dough. Fill the mixed dal paste in every portion and roll them in a Gujiya shape and put to steam or microwave. And your Dal Pithas are ready!
