You’ve probably heard that the Punjabis celebrate Vaisakhi every year, but what is this celebration all about?The celebration, spanning three days, begins with replacing the old triangular Sikh flag, known as the Nishan Sahib, with a new one in the morning. From chapattis and saffron rice to sweet desserts, it’s definitely a vegetarian feast like no other at the gurdwara on Vaisakhi.Clad in their new attire, members of the family head to the temple first before preparing their vegetarian lunch at home.
Celebrated on April 15 this year, the Bengali New Year is observed by the predominantly Hindu Bengali community in the country. For some Bengali businessmen, they mark this day of new beginnings by opening their new account books known as the “Haal Kaata” as it’s believed to be an auspicious day to do so.From pachadi to curries, there’s much to savour during lunchtime at a Malayalee home during Vishu. Waking up early in the morning, members of the family enter the altar room and prepare a number of auspicious items known as the Vishukanni, as it is believed to bring good luck.
