Namaskar and PailagAs this month has a very special place in the heart of each and every Female of Uttarakhand, i would like to dedicate this mail to all the sisters and brothers celebaring Bhitauli, yessssss m talking about Bhitauli â€"I would prefer to call it as social-ritual in addition rather just a festival, It happens to fall in the month of Chaitra and celebrated in entire Uttarakhand with much pomp. It begins from the very first day of Shravan and celebrated equally in both the regions (Garhwal and Kumaon). It is a grand occasion of sharing gifts from the brothers to their married sisters. The religious rites and rituals during this festival are celebrated with much veneration. Brother suppose to visit sister’s in-laws and get updated with the news at her end, in addition he has to carry gifts (sarees, jeweleries etc) and some home made confectioneries like khazure, kheer, puri, puwe, "gud ki bheli" etc. Later, in the evening sister use to distribute those
confectioneries in the entire village, just to share the pleasure of the occasion, that certainly implies the concern and care towards sister/daughter from her brother or parents.
Of courses changes can be observed as time passing; westernization/ globalization/ urbanization or modernization have not left this untouched, populace prefer to send money-orders or drafts (or some don’t even know about this at all) to just fulfill the revere.
We all know, most of our celebrations are society oriented, interestingly one prominent aspect of this too is enrichment of cultural matters, second it lies in the hearts of the social bonds keeping mutual love alive, that too around d scenario where everybody running after the lavish means.
I may just request, if possible please visit (or call if not) your married sisters on this very traditional occasion, let her also know how seriously you care about her, n n yesss yss ysss plz don’t forget to send her some nice gift :) and confectioneries too, that way you r contributing towards this ritual and keeping her happy too.
