Question

Essay on an evening in my village

Answer 1

Answer:

Every moment of day and night has its own poetry. Only when dullness overcomes us do we fail to see or perceive the glory of things.

For most people evening means that the day's work is done. There is a scientific reason for this. Everything on earth and every creature on earth derives energy from the sun.

With sunset life on the earth slows down. Evening means rest. Even rivers and streams seem to have a gentler flow in the evening.

➤ Birds are seen flying back to their resting places in the evening. It is also the hour of the cow-dust, godhooli. Cattle which are not taken out to grazing ground are fed.

India is a poor country and so earthen lamps or lanterns are lighted in every cottage but only for some time. Most villagers cannot afford the expense of burning oil.

So the lamps are lighted in every cottage but only for some time. Most villagers cannot afford the expense of burning oil. So the lamps are lighted for a while as a symbol of the worship of Lakshmi.

Now villages have begun to be electrified. When living standards improve it is that villages and the homes in the villages will not remain plunged in darkness almost for the whole night.
