In this video, I will show you how to make a pig origami.
Dhanteras is the first day of the five-day Diwali Festival. The festival, also known as "Dhantrayodashi" or "Dhanwantari Triodasi", falls on the auspicious thirteenth lunar day of Krishna Paksha in the Hindu month of Ashwin (October/November). The word Dhanteras, Dhan stands for wealth. On Dhanteras, the "Owl" form of the Goddess Laxmi is worshiped to provide prosperity and well being. Dhanteras holds special significance for the business community due to customary purchases of precious metals on this day. According to another popular legend, when the gods and demons churned the ocean for Amrit or nectar, Dhanavantri (the physician of the gods and an incarnation of Vishnu) emerged carrying a jar of the elixir on the day of Dhanteras. To mark the auspicious day, houses and business premises are renovated and decorated. Entrances are made colorful with traditional motifs of Rangoli designs to welcome the Goddess of Wealth and Prosperity. To indicate her long-awaited arrival, small footprints are drawn with rice flour and vermilion powder all over the houses. Lamps are kept burning all through the nights. Traditions On Dhanteras Hindus consider it auspicious to purchase gold or silver articles or at least one or two new utensils. It is believed that new Dhan or some form of precious metal is a sign of good luck. "Laxmi-Puja" is performed in the evenings when tiny Diyas of clay are lit to drive away the shadows of evil spirits. "Bhajans"-devotional songs- in praise of Goddess ...

Lahore : Hindu community living across the country would celebrate Diwali festival on October 28 with great enthusiasm. The preparations to mark the most vibrant festival started from the beginning of the month have reached its climax. All young and children are planning different activities to celebrate the event in befitting manner. On the day, people will perform their religious rituals in Mandir decorated with lovely traditional motifs to welcome Lakshami, the goddess of wealth and prosperity. The celebrations continues for five days and each day of Diwali celebrations is associated with different myths, legends and beliefs. The word Diwali has its origin in the Sanskrit word Deepavali which means rows of light. Diwali or deepavali is the festival signifying the victory of good against evil. Festival of lights is celebrated by decorating every home, humble or lavish with the orange glow of twinkling diyas to welcome Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity. Multi-coloured rangoli designs, floral decorations and fireworks add charm to this festival. Exchanging gifts and sweet is part of the activities to share joys of Diwali. People wear new clothes, observe religious rituals and worship Goddess Lakshami praying for progress and prosperity. Diwali is considered auspicious for shopping, inaugurations of new homes, business deals or for starting any new ventures and projects.
Rangoli design from Pandoli tal Petlad Dist Anand Gujarat India
The entrance of Tamil homes during Deepavali is often decorated with the kolam. This is a beautifully designed floral item on the ground. To invite the Goddess Lashimi to enter their homes people light oil lamps around the compound and skillfully draw a kolam at it's entrance during Deepavali using a paste made of rice flour.People believe that this will invoke the blessings of the deity Lashimi . Kolam designs can depict flowers, animals or even geometric forms. Patience and skills are needed in amking the kolam as it is believed to bring happiness and prosperity. Some times a kolam is drawn with bare fingers using predetermined dots. The dots are either connected together to make a pattern or loops are drawn encircling the dots to complete a design. Nowadays there are perforated rolling tubes, perforated trays and stencils available to speed the process of making kolams. During festivals and weddings, rice flour paste is used instead of the flour. This tradition of decorating with kolams is passed on from generation to generation.
