A flavored joy for you, on the occasion of the “FESTIVAL OF COLOURS”

Holi is a popular ancient Hindu festival. Based on mythology, it signifies the triumph of good over evil. Based on seasons, Holi celebrates the arrival of spring and the end of winter. It marks the beginning of new harvest season. Flowers, trees start blooming and nature becomes colourful.

Holi is celebrated on full moon night of Phalguna. People light large bonfires. They get together around the bonfire, pray for social wellbeing and peace and offer coconut to the fire. This custom represents the end of evil, cruel tendencies. The next day is celebrated with colors. This festival involves smearing each other with colours irrespective of their social stature, caste and creed and thus, emphasizes equality among the people. This festival is celebrated through- out the country. In some regions, colours are replaced by dirt. The methods may differ from region to region, but the essence remains the same. The simple logic behind these traditions is to make way for all bad emotions so that only the positive and good ones stay with us.

People meet together for Holi celebration and organize parties for friends and relatives. Our Indian festivals are characterized by authentic and elaborate food culture. Each Indian festival is celebrated with traditional food preparations in the kitchen of every household. For Holi, sweets like Gujia, Ras Malai, Puranpoli, are prepared and savored. Thus, celebration is not complete without tasty food. Holi is little bit different too. Though traditional, it has a unique, mischievous fun element in it. Thandai and Bhang also are a part of celebrating this colorful and flavorful festival. The whole atmosphere is full of fun, frolic and feasts.

Women's Day - Pitaara

Women’s Day special

International women’s day is a global day to celebrate the existence of a woman. It is a day to highlight woman empowerment. It is a day to remind ourselves that woman are also torch bearers of family traditions and family names are brought to limelight because of them.

They say woman is a complex emotional structure which is very difficult to understand. Woman is characterized by a soft heart, however, she can work really hard to achieve her goals. She is emotionally vulnerable, however, she can be as strong as iron in decision making. She seems to be confused sometimes, however, she is sorted in thoughts regarding what she wants to do. She can break the boundaries by remaining in her disciplinary and cultural boundaries. Woman is a beauty in paradox. With all her virtues and vices, she is the essence of the family. A family is never complete without a woman. Family members are mentally at peace as they know that the woman of the family can single handedly manages the affairs of the house.

History tells that role of women was limited to household chores, kids and cooking. However, over the years, they have come a long way. The role has undergone a progressive change. Women are excelling in all fields. They have achieved laurels in sports, science, business, agriculture, art and literature, military etc. So much so that today, a woman is a finance minister of our country. Such is the journey of woman. However, cooking is one thing which is very close to heart of every woman. The authentic and traditional tastes keep passing on from grandmother to mother and further to her daughter just like heirlooms. The motherly love that goes in to the preparations adds a homely and a warm flavor to food. They are particular about the ingredients, tastes, aroma, and nutritious values in a food item.
