FESTIVALS & MOON CALENDER 2005 |
| The
historic origins of some of the various Hindu Festivals
revolve around their special significance for each of
the four castes. Sravan is primarily a festival
month for the Brahmins (priests). Dassera (Vijay Dashmi)
is a festival primarily for the Kshatriyas (warriors).
Holi is a festival primarily for the Sudras and Deepawali
is a festival primarily for the Vaisyas. These distinctions
are not rigid and generally all Hindus participate and
celebrate all these festivals. |
