Hello Readers!
India is diversified in terms of culture, religion, languages and festivals. If people don't look at their own culture with multiplicity, they remain aloof from knowing the similarities between their culture and other traditions carrying the same rites and rituals. Reading literature, watching films give many perspectives to look at religio-cultural practices. This way one can expand the horizons of critical thinking. The narrowness in any discourse leads one towards adamant beliefs which are not only difficult to debunk but also next to impossible to reconstruct the newer perspectives.
India has multiple calendars. Historically looking at those calendars, some of them were created by the emperor of ancient India, and some of them were religious calendars. Vikramaditya was emperor whose fame was widespread.
We already know the Indian festival Holi, the festival of colors and bonfire. In this blog we shall try to cover the other narratives and ideas around bonfire. Holi is not the only festival connected with bonfire or a religious fire. In religions like Parsi and Jewism there is a concept of fire which is pious and holy.
