今天是印度最重大的节日排灯节,相当于中国农历新年


排灯节(Diwali Festival),在印度、尼泊尔是非常重要的全国性节日,庆祝“以光明驱走黑暗,以善良战胜邪恶”。今年的排灯节庆祝从11月5日开始,11月9日结束,为期5天,11月7日是正日子。

这个节日对于印度教徒的意义,相当于圣诞节对于基督教徒的意义、农历新年对中国人的意义。由于它的重要地位和隆重庆祝仪式,很多对印度稍有了解的“外人”甚至将其误认为是印度新年。

全世界很多国家如印度、斐济、新加坡、马来西亚、尼泊尔,以及有大量印度人聚居的地方如加拿大、美国、英国、南非以及新西兰都会庆祝排灯节。

一般庆祝日程是这样的:

01第一天(11月5日,2018)

纪念财富之神Lakshmi,在印度某些地方则是纪念死神Yamaraj。人们为了迎接神祇入门,会进行大扫除,并上街添购新餐具、装饰品。相传财富之神Lakshmi最爱干净,如果房子太脏,她连看都不会看,财运也就飞了。

02第二天(11月6日,2018)

天神Krishna打败恶魔Narakasura,将天下众生从恐惧忧虑中解放出来,所以这一天开始燃放大量的烟花爆竹以示驱走邪恶。

03第三天(11月7日,2018)

排灯节的正日子,也是庆祝活动最隆重的一天。人们恭迎天神Lakshmi,女士们会穿上印度传统裙装sari,男士们则穿上kurthas。百姓穿上新衣、商人换新帐本,象征新生活的开始。还有一项重要仪式是祈求财富之神 Lakshmi的护佑,虽然排灯节期间印度的公司都放假了,但这一天股市会有一小时的特别交易,以作为呈献给Lakshmi的礼物。

04第四天(11月8日,2018)

光明统治的第一天,全家聚在一起共享天伦。

05第五天(11月9日,2018)

节日的最后一天,属于姐妹的日子,兄弟们会带着礼物到姐妹家中拜访。

所以下个星期联系不上你的印度客人很正常,他们过节去了!

可以发给客人的短信祝福如下:
