HOW TO WISH PEOPLE FOR DIFFERENT FESTIVALS?

by Techy Rishav Home Security Advisor

Festivals are occasions for getting together, eating, and celebrating. Festivals can be religious, state-wide, or national in nature. Have you ever been stumped as to what to say when welcoming someone? I once called a Muslim acquaintance and wished him a 'Happy Muharram.' He explained to me that Muharram is observed as a symbol of honour for Hussein ibn Ali, Muhammad's martyred grandson. When my friends wished me a happy Good Friday, which celebrates Jesus Christ's death, I was in a similar predicament. We may be unsure whether we should wish someone or not at times.

Let's have a look at how you greet folks on special occasions today. India is a diverse country with different religions and cultures, and we are proud of our country's beautiful and colourful natural surroundings.

Wishes and greetings can be exchanged in a variety of ways. Digital, via Instagram, Sms, emails, Whatsapp, and, of course, picking up the phone and wishing, but even better if you meet and greet in person.

Holi is India's most colourful celebration, and you can feel the colours in the air as people sing Happy Holi to one another. You might add to this tag of happy holi, "Let this Holi bring an abundance of colours in your life," or "May God make your life as bright as Holi." You can try sending these Holi wishes & messages when reaching out to your friends and relatives.

The Eid holiday takes place after the Ramzaan fasting month has ended. Eid Mubarak is usually greeted with a hug or embrace. Mamrookh is an Arabic term that you can use. May you always be fortunate. May God bless you abundantly in all of your endeavours.

Ganesh Chaturti, Happy Chaturti, or Ganapati Bappa Moriya as a greeting, but why not with some Ganpati Bappa showers, you may add, may this celebration bring you a lot of prosperity or better still, may this festival bring you a lot of happiness. May Bappa provide you with all of your wishes and desires.

Happy Onam is what is commonly heard as wishes for Onam, but wish a Keralite with "Onam Aashamsakal" and, to spice it up, even more, may this harvest festival bring you a wealth of fortune.

Guru Nanak jayanti guru Nanak jayanti guru Nanak j This holiday commemorates the birth of the first Sikh guru, and you can even say Gurpurab di lakh lakh wadaii with a happy Guru Nanak Jayanti...

Easter is a festival commemorating Christ's crucifixion and resurrection. It is commemorated by the distribution of Easter eggs and the sending of Easter greetings...

May this Easter usher in new blessed beginnings into your lives., or May this Easter usher in a new happy start.

Deepavali, the festival of lights, is greeted with happy Diwali, which can be translated as - May this Deepavali light up your lives, or may your life be filled with many new and wonderful things.

Makkar Sankranti is also known as the kite festival. Because India is a farming country, most of our festivities revolve around harvest time, and Makar Sankranti is one of them.

Til laddoos are created and distributed among friends and relatives in celebration of Makkar Sankranti, with the tagline "til gul ghya aani goud goud bola," which means "taste til sweets and speak pleasantly."

The birthday of King Mahavira is Mahavir Jayanti, a lovely holiday observed by the Jain community. On this day, you welcome each other by requesting forgiveness for wrongdoings against each other, and it's a great chance to bond and apologise if you've injured anyone.

Christmas, Christ's birthday, is synonymous with the greetings of Merry Christmas. Why not say it with a brief prayer at the end? May the Lord bless you with good health, wealth, and fortune.

Each national should wish each other Happy Independence on national holidays such as Independence Day and Republic Day, as this promotes patriotism and togetherness among the people.

We've just listed a few of our country's festivals; there are many more, and festivals offer joy. It's also a wonderful idea to utilise this wishing or greeting throughout the festival season with modest good wishes and prayers. Happiness multiplies, and everybody will feel a sense of brotherhood.
