Hidden woman happy at festival

As the festival approaches, the role and workload of women has increased. Women are becoming more active in the kitchen or in family and social gatherings. Festivals are a time of relaxation for Hindu women. However, the festival is also a time for women to be exceptionally happy and rejoicing.

Most of our cooks are women. It is the woman who manages the food during the festival. Women may be comparatively happier in family environment than men. They can be happy in a social environment. That's why, compared to men, women spend more days celebrating festivals, wearing beautiful clothes, dancing and enjoying feasts.

Women can spend more time during the festival not only in personal and family work, but also in community work. Nepali women who have learned the social culture of considering the family as the world, understand the family workload as their first responsibility. That's why women can laugh while hiding pain. They can show effect even by hiding the lack. During the festival, women are not only happy for themselves, they are happy for their family and society.

The time, labor and quality that women give to the community outside the household is also high during the festival. That is why women work for many days to perform auspicious deeds or death rituals. There is a traditional saying – 'Yatra Naryastu Pujyante Ramante Tatra Devata' meaning where women are respected, the gods are also happy. That is why, every festival of ours is to make women happy, not to be desired and to meet relatives. From tradition, it seems that women have been entrusted with the protection of family, traditions and culture. Festivals bring family unity and harmony. Strengthens family ties. Special types of sweet and savory food and dishes are prepared during the festival. A woman's happiness knows no bounds when she feeds her family with the sweet dishes she has made.

In the festival, religious rituals are performed along with family rituals. In this too, women are more attached than men. This has also increased the attraction and influence of women towards the festival. According to the festival, more women are seen fasting, performing puja at home and performing puja in the monastery. Be it the religious work of donating to the priest or the social work of helping and feeding the needy, there is a lot of women's activism. It's not just women doing it for fun. They are very active in the festival because of their profound love, respect and sense of responsibility towards family, society and culture.

music is not a thing nowadays as it has become a must at festivals. Among the Vedas, Samaveda is music. Now the first stage of learning to sing comes from Saregam Samaveda. That's why during the festival, women have also done the work of preserving tradition and culture by singing and dancing. Some people seem to have a one-sided negative assessment based on seeing women wearing colorful clothes and dancing. This is wrong. Festivals, women and rituals are complementary to each other. Festivals are the carriers of happiness of individuals and are the rituals of society. If the participation of women in festivals and Khat decreases, the festivals will become dull. Not only this, gradually festivals and our rituals will become endangered.

It is impossible to imagine a festival without the participation of women. The role of women in festivals is not only limited to religious or cultural scope, but also excels in leadership and management capacity. Therefore, modern society needs to acknowledge the role of women in a more respectful and equal manner, appreciating their contribution to preserving festivals and rituals. Festivals are our happiness and culture is our wealth.

will therefore make every festival one everyone can be happy and proud of. If there are some unreasonable beliefs and practices in the name of tradition, they should be removed and made practical. Festivals, which are becoming expensive and extravagant, should be made original and frugal. Women should also be its leaders.
