Hindu Holidays 2024: The Importance and History of Hinduism

As we talk about the history of the earth, it is described in five Kalpas as follows: Hiranya, Brahma, Padma, and Varaha. To date, four Kalpas have passed till now, and the last one is in running. You might know about Kalpa and let us provide some of the vital details. The Kalpa time is considered to be calculated before the last unit, similar to rupees as counted in thousands, lakhs, crores, and others. People believe that the Hindu religion was created by sages and Hinduism is considered the third largest religion in terms of followers across the globe and more than 100 crores of people follow the religion. The followers refer to it as Sanatana Dharma and are considered to be one of the oldest religions in the world.

Importance Of Major Fasts and Festivals In Hindu Religion

Makar Sankranti

In astrology, the Sun's transit from one zodiac to another is referred to as Sankranti. The Sun enters Capricorn on the occasion of Makar Sankranti. As per astrology, Kharmas end on Makar Sankranti and the hurdles on auspicious tasks like marriage are removed. The occasion is celebrated across the country in forms like a festive occasion. The festival of Makar Sankranti is celebrated each year on 14 January across North India. The belief is that the door of the heavens opens up on this day, thus there is specific significance to charity and bathing in the holy river on this day. On Makar Sankranti day, pure ghee and blankets need to be donated to poor people. It is the way to attain salvation.

Mahashivratri

In the Hindu religion, there is special importance of Shivratri. On this day, the Shiva devotees visit the temple and perform the ritual of Jalabhishek on Lord Shiva. It has been mentioned in Shiv Puran that the devotees fast on the Mahashivratri day and worship Lord Bholenath as per specific rules & regulations. It is believed that Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati got married on this auspicious occasion. The festival is celebrated each year as their marriage anniversary. Shiva devotees celebrate the occasion as the festival of the union of Lord Shiva & Goddess Parvati with great enthusiasm across India. The Mahashivratri fast is also considered very effective for single people. It is believed that fasting on the Shivratri day will deliver desired results to unmarried girls.

Holi

In Sanatan Dharma, there is special importance for the Holi festival. The day marks the victory of good over evil. As per Hindu Calendar, the Holi festival is celebrated in the Phalgun month. One day before Holi, Holika Dahan is done and after it, Holi is played in which people apply colors on each other. There is a tradition of singing Fagua songs on this day. People forget their differences in the festival and unite for the occasion. Across the country, the festival is referred to by different names like Dol Purnima, Rangwali Holi, Dhulandi, Dhuleti, Manjal Kuli, Ukuli, Phagwa, Signo, and others.

Ganesh Chaturthi

The Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations are done on the Chaturthi date of Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada month. The belief is that Lord Ganesha was born on that day. Ganesh Chaturthi occurs every month, but there is the special significance of the Chaturthi date of Shukla Paksha in the Bhadrapada month. Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated for 10 days and people install the Ganapati idol in their house on this day. Then people worship the lord following specific rituals for the entire 10 days and then on the tenth day, i.e. Chaturdashi Ganesh Ji is immersed in water. The festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm across states like Maharashtra, Telangana, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, and other parts of south & southern India.

Dussehra

Dussehra is one of the major festivals in the Hindu religion. Dussehra or Vijayadashmi marks the celebration of Lord Rama's victory over evil. In North India, the holy festival is referred to as Dussehra and in West Bengal, it is known as Vijayadashami. In Hindu religion, the festival is celebrated to mark the victory of good over evil and the belief that on the day Lord Rama killed Lankapati Ravana. Other than that, the legend lies that Dussehra is celebrated on the Dashami and it is believed that Maa Durga killed a demon named Mahishasura on this day. Grand Ramlila is organized on the day at different places and the Ravana effigies are burnt. As per the Panchang, the Dussehra festival is celebrated each year on the tenth day of Shukla Paksha of Ashwin month. The festival will be held in 2024 on 12 October and large-size effigies are burnt in different parts of the country.

Diwali

The festival of Diwali is celebrated with full enthusiasm across India. People wait for the festival each year very eagerly and celebrate on the new moon day of Karthik month. There is the ritual of worshiping Lord Ganesh and Goddess Lakshmi on the day and also people light lamps in their homes & temples. The festival is celebrated in the joy of Lord Rama's victory over Lankapati Ravana and celebrating the return of Lord Rama after the exile of 14 days. The belief is that people lit lamps to welcome Lord Rama as he returned to Ayodhya with Goddess Sita & Lakshmana. These lamps at homes mark the celebrations of Diwali and are celebrated with full enthusiasm across the countries of the world.
