Festivals in Corona

It is the festival season of the year. Although, in India, our culture gives us enough of the times to celebrate, we have plenty of festivals to celebrate throughout the year. But, this time of the year is specifically laned up in festivals starting from Durga Pooja to Diwali, Bhai dooj. So, it can be collectively known to be the festive season in India.

 

But, are we in the same level of excitement for the upcoming festive season?

No, we are not that excited. Festivals were more joyous as we used to meet our friends and relatives and celebrate the festival together. But, in this corona time, festivals are limited to the family only. This corona has destroyed these long followed traditions of the festivals.

 

Festivals this year have been overshadowed by the fear of this virus. At Durga pooja, where we used to build up some pandals and decorate them for Maa Durga, but this time the Pandals were banned to avoid huge social gatherings. We could not enjoy the most glorious Duurga festival this year. At Rakshabandhan, some of the sisters could not manage to come home to tie the Rakhi, all for maintaining the social distancing and not to invite corona at home.

Ganesha Chaturthi, the largest Ganesha pooja celebration of the country, when we all thought that Bappa would come and take the virus along. We all wanted to welcome him in the most beautiful way, but no Gathering was possible, so no collective welcome could take place. Bappa came home with the family only, and he left the same way. Without much dance, music and the particular ambiance of Ganesha Chaturthi and Visarjan.

 

And, now, when the festival of Lights, Diwali is coming. Not all of us will be able to see the lighten up city, because there are clearer instructions to stay at home and celebrate as calmly as possible. Diwali is a festival when friends and relatives come together, play cards, club and have fun, but this time, this virus is not even allowing us to step out.


So, with all the festive vibes, we must remember that corona is still there, and our safety is our first priority. So, we need to celebrate the festivals keeping all the safety measures in mind.
