Don't they just go to temple and pray during diwali? Malayali hindus celebrate Vishu with much more zeal and love by spending enough or more money on crackers. Only exceptions are a few places in Trivandrum and Palakkad.

Normally keralites bath two times a day but on this day hindus takes morning bath after oil malish and eat breakfast made of rice. i don't think many people prefer going to temples but in the evening they light up few diyas. Normally in south kerala and in some parts of Central kerala vishu celebrations ends after vishukani and kaineetam but in north kerala i think vishnu is celebrations ends at night. I think I don't need to tell you about their much preferred dish.

 

[Proactive_]

Fascinating to hear about how differently Diwali is celebrated throughout India. Here in U.P (and I'm pretty sure in most of North and Central India) ,we worship Lord Ganesh and Goddess Laxmi on this auspicious day, mostly at home but some visit Temples as well. One of my favorite times of the year with brightly lit houses and streets everywhere you go, lots of light and color and a very festive atmosphere.

^vishu celebrations not vishnu

My friends especially girls go to temple on this day. But Vishu celebrations in North kerala starts from the night before vishukani. Full crackers, gundu, poothiri, chakram etc like Diwali mode. It's during thrikkarthika (or something like that) they decorate temples with diya. And come on, during religious festivals malabar hindus eat vegetarian food mostly. Dinner might be chicken biriyani.

Happy Diwali everyone. A very good and an EXTREMELY rich Hindu friend of mine based in Karachi invited me for Diwali celebrations in his village this year. I really wanted to go but couldn't make the trip because of the arduously long journey. Nonetheless, its been fun watching people enjoy crackers and fireworks over Snapchat.

 

[SandyB]

Everyone in India generally take part don't they regardless of beliefs

Nah, there are regional variations as in everything. AFAIK, the north and South Indians celebrate diwali for separate mythological reasons, and in south we call it "DEEPAVALI" which literally means "ARRAY of LIGHTS" , which is what the festival is about .

My state for some reason doesn't celebrate it much, apart from visiting temples . We have our own cracker bursting festival "VISHU" which arrives in April, and our "festival of Lights" is "Thrikkarthika" / "Karthikai Deepam" (in tamil) , that we celebrate somewhere in Nov/Dec .

It's an auspicious day for hindus in kerala too but they use technicalities for not spending too much money, even poor people of other states celebrate Diwali much better than us.

How can you blame it on being stingy ? We spend the same kind of money that most hindus spend on Diwali on two of our festivals - Onam and Vishu . Why should we be apologetic for not celebrating a festival which culturally we didn't celebrate much in the past ?

I don't see any problem in participating in Deepavali celebrations in Bangalore or Chennai, but we don't need to feel sorry for ourselves IMO.

Form what I've seen over the years, Deepavali in Kerala is mostly limited to the TamBrams and Nampoothiri (Brahmin) castes, most other communities don't celebrate it the was they do it up North or in the other southern states. As always Palakkad and tamil influenced areas of Trivandrum are different .

Don't they just go to temple and pray during diwali? Malayali hindus celebrate Vishu with much more zeal and love by spending enough or more money on crackers. Only exceptions are a few places in Trivandrum and Palakkad.

Those 2 districts have the strongest Tamil cultural influence in kerala, hence the tendency to celebrate tamil festivals according to their local calendar. You will also find Pongal celebrated in those areas too (Called PONGALA here) .

My friends especially girls go to temple on this day. But Vishu celebrations in North kerala starts from the night before vishukani. Full crackers, gundu, poothiri, chakram etc like Diwali mode. It's during thrikkarthika (or something like that) they decorate temples with diya. And come on, during religious festivals malabar hindus eat vegetarian food mostly.

You are soo wrong about that . Non veg is must on Vishu for malabaris. Even onam is celebrated with chicken on the side. (lived in Kannur for a few years ) .

We used to think that spending too much money for buying crackers and sweets were unnecessary, There is even a negative malayalam usage Diwali kulichu or kalichu kalanju which is used to make fun of spendthrifts. I'm not being apologetic, i just posted few things based on some observations. i should have said people of other states spend more money than us to celebrate diwali.

There is a reason for that , the word "Diwal" in souther languages like tamil and even marathi means "Bankrupt", it may not actually be related to the festival. And southerners celebrate deepavali to commemorate Krishna's slaying of Narakasura , unlike the "Ram" connection in Northern India.

Also I read somewhere that "Deepavali" dates coincides in some way with the death/disappearance of King Bali (not enough solid sources though) , so that is a reason only Keralites among south Indians don't celebrate Deepavali.

Diwali was on 19th actually, the muhurat got over at 00:41am on 20th midnight so eating non veg on 20th is absolutely fine.I myself dug into non veg yesterday.

Ofocurse earlier people will start eating non veg only when they visit their sisters home for bhaidooj after diwali,thats today.

The Non Veg eating among Indians varies with the region they belong to.

It's a heartwarming message from Babar for both the Pakistani hindus and Hindus living all over the world. He's gaining a lot of fans in India in recent times.

A few people not happy in the comments section though.
