Question

Canculision of environment of festivel

Answer 1

Festivals by their very nature were ‘invented’ to celebrate the fruits of the environment. Holi is to celebrate the onset of spring. Diwali is to celebrate the harvest after monsoon. Navratri is to celebrate the actual harvesting period. Ganesh Chaturthi as an organized public festival was introduced more for social awakening and unity. Many other festivals during Shravan are primarily timed with the onset of sustained monsoon. Somewhere down the line came a religious angle to it. (While I have mentioned only Hindu festivals, same is true for other religions also.) With religious aspects, the environment became inclusive of the social environment as well and the relevance of natural environment started diminishing. All festivals in the pristine form are complementary to natural climatic changes, supplement human health and reasonably compliant with natural environment. However the current forms of the celebrations are completely out of sync with all of this. Not just the natural environment, but the social environment has also got polluted and now taken over by the political environment. (Need not talk about pollution in politics.)
