5 festival celebrated in only madhya pradesh and their particular food
Answers
Madhya Pradesh emulates the festive fervour that runs through the veins of India. Bounded by five different states, this land of contrasts has absorbed a little culture and tradition from each, and yet has an identity wholly its own. This aspect is most evident in its festivals. While Madhya Pradesh also celebrates pan-Indian festivals such as Holi, Dussehra, Id and Diwali with fervour, there are several festivals, both religious and cultural, which are exclusive to the state. Considering their sheer number, odds are that tourists will get to participate in or experience at least one while visiting MP.
Bhopal: Lokrang
Lokrang, a popular five-day festival, begins every year on 26th January. Organised by the Madhya Pradesh Adivasi Lok Kala Academy, it is a celebration of the traditions and cultural practices of Madhya Pradesh. The highlights are tribal and classical dances, performance arts and exhibitions.
Jhabuaa and West Nimar: Bhagoria Haat Festival
Celebrated in the month of March, just before Holi, Bhagoria is a festival observed by the Bhil tribe of Madhya Pradesh.
Although it is primarily a harvest festival, its most popular draw is the haat, which is organised in the form of a swayamvar (an age-old practice, where a woman would choose a groom from several suitors). Young men and women come here to find partners and ritualistically elope, after which they are recognised as a married couple by the society.
Ujjain: Kumbh Mela
Regarded as one of the seven sacred cities in the Hindu canon, Ujjain hosts the world-famous Kumbh Mela every 12 years.
Dewas: Pandit Kumar Gandharva Samaroh
Each April, performers come together to honour the birth anniversary of Pandit Kumar Gandharva, a famous vocalist. It is also known for being a platform to promote young talent. Musicians try to emulate the maestro’s legacy by blending both folk and classical music.
Ujjain: Akhil Bharatiya Kalidasa Samaroh
This festival commemorates the great poet Kalidasa each year in August. Inaugurated by Dr. Rajendra Prasad in 1958, it has always managed to attract the who’s who of the country. Theatrical performances addressing a wide array of contemporary issues are staged.
Gwalior: Rashtriya Ramleela Mela
Although ramleelas are held in every part of the country, if you happen to be in Gwalior during the end of September or beginning of October, do not miss this theatrical extravaganza. Traditionally ramleelas portray the victory of Lord Rama over Ravana, and in extension, of good over evil. This dramatic musical concludes with an effigy of Ravana being set on fire, followed by a fireworks display.
The cuisine of Madhya Pradesh includes both vegetarian and non-vegetarian items. While the people of Northern and Western Madhya Pradesh keep their food centred around wheat and meat, the people of Southern and Eastern MP keep their food centred around rice and fish. Some of the most popular dishes of Madhya Pradesh are rogan josh, biriyani, pilaf etc.
