As for colors Marathi, I agree that most of their shows are regressive, and I have also seen the one you are talking about...You heard what the girl said about vat poornima, yet conveniently ignored what her MIL Said... about the reason for worshiping the banyan tree...Also I wud request you to not call anything superstition just cause you dont understand it...
Do you know know why Vat Savitri was started by our Sages ?? Most of the festivals and traditions started by Hindus are based on science and its meant to make life on earth better... not just for humans but every living being... There is a reason why we celebrate Makar Sankranti, Diwali, Vat Poornima and Nag Panchami...
If you try to dig a bit and use little logic and science you will realize that the reasons are solely based on seasons and also consider nature and how to help ourselves, maximize our own health and the same time maintain the balance on nature... so please requesting you to not talk and condemn some custom without thinking through...
