Ahmedabad: While the population of the Western City sections will catch up on holidays on Friday, children and adolescents will wake up when the clock attacks 5 in the morning in the city of Ahmedabad walled and starts knocking on the door of the environment with the shouts of ‘Sabras’ to encourage residents Grogging-eyed to open their doors and welcome a good sign of the new year with ‘buy’ lumps of salt from them.
“A number of salts that are not purified with a pinch of Kumkum are considered a good start for the new year.
As a child, I will also wake up at 4 in the morning, collect a salt lump and go from door to door, offering ‘luck.’ This movement is a symbol of the exchange of good intentions in the community – just as salt makes food be eaten, this small movement is believed to improve neighboring days and thus year, “said Hetal Padh, a resident of Kalupur.
In the midst of the Wester of Westeritations, the UNESCO World Heritage City in Ahmedabad – Especially the traditional-walled city area – together with the inheritance built continues to be a guardian of habits and traditions since a year before.
Right from the moment the Sultan to the factory magnet, the city’s social fabric reflects his practice and how diwali remains one of the biggest festivals for the city.
Traditional Dewali spreads also different from plate offers to guests in the western city.
Mehta Jagdip, a resident of the Moto Sutharwado and the owner of a famous inheritance house in the city, said Politarian Pol still collectively sweating to remove traditional sweets and food at home.
“In the walled city, the Diwali Mandatorily platter includes Suvali, fried fried round discs made of Maida, along with Chakri, Ghughra, Mathiya, Cholafali, Mohanthal and Magas,” said Mehta.
He rugged the only thing missing today were tasteful people who used to work during the festival.
Even when the ground lights have been replaced with fairy lights and clothes that are sewn specifically for ready-made clothes, a visit to a local temple is a must for the population of Desai Ni Pol.
While the majority of people in the west began a vacation outside the city, residents of Pol holding Sneh-Milan to eat, meet and greet their neighbors.
“Diwali celebration is incomplete without visiting temples and looking for the blessings of the elders during the ‘Snej Milan’ of Mohalla,” said Maitri Pasawala, a resident of Desai Ni Pol, added that the lure of the tradition gets a lot back to Pol to the Festival.
Prof.
Ramji Savaliya, former Director of the BJ Institute of Learning & Research, said that the majority of traditions currently have roots in centuries practices.
“Saal Mubarak for example has come from Gujarati’s merchant interaction with their colleagues from the Middle East today.
Even today, expression is used without religious connotation.
Similarly, Diwali is a big part of Ahmedabad’s culture because the factory will provide a bonus in front of the celebration, And all markets will be energized, “he said.
“Even traditionally, the festival and Labh Pancham are days when the account will be resolved, and a new account will begin.
While past traders are no longer, some traditions lingering that I believe is a living inheritance and must also be preserved.”
