in Best of India4 years ago (edited)

Hello Steemians,

I hope you all are doing well. Due to some hectic project work, I couldn't post my diary past few days, But do not worry I am back again with my diary post of season - 2. I am really enjoying this diary game.

I am a team member of @steembharat our official post you can check here steembharat

Today is one of the biggest festivals in India that is Chaurchan and Ganesh Chaturthi. Happy Ganesh Chaturthi all of you.

Hindus in the Mithila region of the Terai celebrate the Chaurchan festival on day following Teej. Chaurchan festival falls on Bhadra Shukla Chauthi of the lunar calendar. It is also known as Chuthichan.
The devotees celebrate the festival by worshiping the rising moon from their homes. It is believed that people in the Mithila region started celebrating this festival to rid themselves of the curse of Lord Ganesha.
On this festival, the people prepare delicious food from rice, wheat, flour, sweets and fruits. They prepare the spot from where they can worship the moon by purifying it with cow dung, red mud and making an alpana rangoli. Each member of the family worships the rising moon turn by turn and offers the food prepared on banana leaves.

I woke up at 6:30 in the morning. I was so excited because last night my mother said tomorrow we are celebrating Chaurchan. The weather was a bit cloudy but it was beautiful. I finish my personal activities and check my WhatsApp messages.

After that, I have involved in arranging the worship material. My mother made a list of all goods and she just told brig. So I went my nearest shop and buy all the worship material and give her it. Normally I do not responsible for buying these goods, my younger brother take care of it. But unfortunately, he was not there at that time. So I went.

In the afternoon I had lunch. Today I had rice and pulse and green vegetables. And I ask my mother do you need any other help just call me I'm going to my room. Because I do not have to bother any think my younger sister will take of decoration and all that. And then I start watching youtube, I show some latest Punjabi song. I like Punjabi songs. The new song Pindan de Jaye just released. It's a good song.

Then I feel a bit sleepy so I took a power nap. It's was so cool. I feel relief after that.

In the evening we celebrate Chaurchan - Moon Festival with my family.

I am a big fan of Indian festivals. It is nice to read about them. Hindus celebrations and pujas are so attractive. I also worship Lord Ganesha and Lord Vishnu as well as Lord Buddha🙂

Hmm... Yeah it's a nice song as I hear. But I don't know the meaning😁
