Celebrating Our Traditions

An Indian life style is primarily based on the traditions from the ancient Hinduism. We are a country today filled with multi-cultural and religious values. We embrace it with love and brotherhood.

Until today we perform a lot of festivals and traditions based on what our ancient scriptures, epics, Vedas, Upanishads have outlined in them. The way the weddings take place, the way we follow the naming ceremony, etc are all based on our ancient traditions. Thankfully we have been able to preserve them till this day.

And then there are the festivals and rituals we celebrate, both religious and non religious. All these also have very ancient roots. In this series of blogs I intend bring forward the various festivals that Indians and more specifically the Telugu people celebrate and how we should celebrate each of them. The purpose of this is to bring about an awareness and retain our culture and traditions.

While I am a person that strongly supports modernisation and technology we need to retain and sustain our culture and tradition which imbibes the values that we today possess into us. My target is to educate the city folk and the people living abroad that have the passion to retain our tradition.

If in the meanwhile any of you are looking for specific information on any particular festival leave me a note and I will do m best to bring forward all the relevant information.
