India is a land of diversity. In spite of different languages, traditions & customs followed in different regions, India is linked by a common thread that is expressed through its festivals. 'Festivals of India' is a series that will attempt to cover in depth some of the important celebrations observed across India, & the common thread that binds us all to this ancient civilisation. This is the first podcast in the series about the festival of Karthigai Deepam, celebrated in Tamil Nadu & other states in October or November every year.Listen to Part 2 & Part 3 (coming soon) for more information about the legends behind the festival, & how it is celebrated across India & even neighbouring countries like Thailand & Myanmar.Watch the video on https://youtu.be/nW_lMzF8ooYRead the full article here https://bit.ly/3MhF8zKMusic CreditsIntroduction - Ullam Urugudhaiyya, by Madhu IyerAlapana in Sahana Ragam by Madhu IyerBho Shambho by Veena SrivaniNee Thathuvamaagi, Thiruppugazh by Madhu IyerHara Hara Shiva by Jai UttalSupported by Thiru Sri Jayanta------------------------------------------------------The Sri Lalitam Trust aims to preserve & propagate the unique yet diverse cultural & spiritual heritage of India through documentaries, concerts, language studies, & educational resources on all media. about us at www.slt.org.in.
