Thaipusam 2018 | Thachna's Kavadi | Singapore

# data[].attributes.body
When:21st January
Where:Singapore
Who:Kavadi-bearer and Tamil people.
What: A festival occurring in the Tamil month Thai (January-February), the day of the star Pusam around Pournami (Full Moon) is celebrated as ThaiPusam
Why:It is a special day for worship of Lord Muruga (also known as Subrahmanya or Thendayuthapani) and is celebrated in a very grand manner at all Murugan temples, especially at the 'Aaru Padai Veedu' of Murugan (Six temples in India dedicated to Lord Muruga).
How:
The two baskets hanging at each end of the Kavadi contain rice, milk or other articles that the devotee has vowed to offer the Lord. The more devout among them, and especially those who do it as a Sadhana, collect these articles by begging.

They travel on foot from village to village, and beg from door to door. The villagers offer their articles directly into the basket of the Kavadi. The Kavadi-bearer continues begging until the baskets are full or the avowed quantity is reached, and then offers the Kavadi to the Lord.

WHO: HINDUS CELEBRATE DEEPAVALI WITH THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. j
WHERE: HINDUS CELEBRATE DEEPAVALI IN LITTLE INDIA OR THEIR RELATIVES HOUSE.
WHAT: Dipavali is the Hindu festival of lights, which is celebrated every autumn in the northern hemisphere (spring in southern hemisphere).[5][6] One of the most popular festivals of Hinduism, Diwali symbolises the spiritual "victory of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance." Light is a metaphor for knowledge and consciousness.[7][8][9] During the celebration, temples, homes, shops and office buildings are brightly illuminated.

WHEN: The preparations, and rituals, for the festival typically last five days, with the climax occurring on the third day coinciding with the darkest night of the Hindu lunisolar month Kartika. In the Gregorian calendar, the festival generally falls between mid-October and mid-November.
WHY: Diwali is called the Festival of Lights and is celebrated to honor Rama-chandra, the seventh avatar (incarnation of the god Vishnu). It is believed that on this day Rama returned to his people after 14 years of exile during which he fought and won a battle against the demons and the demon king, Ravana.

HOW:

Traditional earthen diyas or candles are lit, and nowadays, fireworks are set off.

Houses are cleaned and decorated with colourful rangoli artworks - patterns created on the floor using coloured rice or powder.

Throughout India, and in Indian communities, people wear new clothes, visit friends and family, and exchange sweets and gifts.There is also a strong belief in giving to those in need.

A special "puja" prayer is dedicated to the goddess Lakshmi in the evening. She is said to bring good luck and prosperity.

There is also red ropes that are hung up to represent good luck. A lot of food is set up for people who are coming over to eat. There is also 'Lo-Hei', which is filled with salmon, vegetable, crackers, honey and peanuts, that is tossed up while saying their wishes for the year. There would also be lion dance who would climb up the step poles and martial arts.

Smell - The house would smell like traditional Chinese food as there is steamboat and barbecue set up. The house would also smell like mandarins that was given by the visitors.

Taste - The food is delicious to eat. The mandarin oranges that was given tastes very sweet. The crackers that is on the table is eaten by the children has a very crunchy and buttery taste. Sweet drinks is served to quench their thirst.

Hear - You are able to hear people shouting while playing mahjong. Poker cards are also played between the young adults.

Sight:Send your near and dear ones to some beautiful vacation spots up in the profound mountains or deep down forest resorts so that they can behold the magnificent sights of the snow capped peaks, or catch a glimpse of some majestic animals in their own territory. They are sure to see things they have never seen before through some fabulous Hotel experiences.

Taste: Of course, it is the feasting season; give your family and friends the ultimate fine dining experiences as they like it. Continental, Chinese, Bavarian, or Goan cuisines await them just to gratify their taste buds and spread a little cheer too.

Touch: Let your all fairer friends and family members feel the touch of genteel hands that massage away their entire wrinkle and worry lines through a fantastic range of spa and salon experiences. Let them radiate with glowing beauty. After all, Diwali is the time to pamper and dazzle others through aromatherapies, Balinese and Swedish massages.

Hear:For the men of mettle in your family there is surely nothing better than hearing the thump, thump, thump, of a Harley Davidson or the legendary Royal Enfield engine sounds as they glide their way to all the hot spots of the capital. This one is truly a unique Diwali Gift idea.

Smell:  True, there will be some people your friend’s circles who want to take the festivities one-step at a time, instead of going full throttle.  It is time for them to wake up and smell the coffee with Café Coffee Day Gift Vouchers. It is bound to make them more energized, and thus see the lights of Diwali shine down upon them.

Hari Raya

# data[].attributes.body
Sound:Stepping into the temple, you are thrust into a diverse blend of musics and sounds. All around you, a unique mix of sounds reverberate through the temple. The sounds seamlessly blend into one another, making it difficult to focus on a single music source. Devotees busy themselves with prayers as well as preparations to take up their kavadis or paalkudams (milk pots). As you walk through the crowd, you catch snippets of conversation amongst people code-switching easily between English and Tamil. Some talk about their kavadi preparations, some catch up with old friends and others get to know new ones. Amidst these conversations, you hear a live band playing not too far away from you. Barely audible over the live bands, recorded music plays from speakers mounted against the temple’s pillars.

Smell:Sweat
