As I know many of us actually celebrate it… but it is usually fasting and prayers… many people do Jagran all night in shiv temples with pujas and abhisheks and Homas and all, and many do jagaran at home too.. until dawn the next day and have light Tiffin and reset for the next day ..
but there is no communal tham jam as such, may be people visit temples and offer prayers and get back home…
unless something is planned for the family specially, this happens in some families where for a long time proper dampati Pooja didn’t happen in the family for long, the newly or recently wed couple doesn’t matter son/daughter usually sit for the Homa and Pooja reiterating that the marriage will make the family stronger , and that the marriage will result in development of both sides of the couple…
So,maybe in this case, both soods and kapoors family situations considered, they wouldn’t have done the dampati poojas for a while…
so on shivrathri… both the couples raya and shikki doing the said Pooja seems plausible…
Also, if it is dampati pooja, early morning ,the couple have to take dip in natural pooled water together or at home with single balti with blessings of Ganga maa and help each other in showering together , called dampati snana!
Here Nandini and Meera and akki’s mother and ram’s mami and sister in law’s (in this case pri and shivi will be doing the rasam together) have to help these couples by applying little turmeric on face and oil on their heads… 😆
Imagine shivi’s antics with akki’s leg pulling and ram’s goofing off and pri’s steadfastly rasam puri karo attitude with awkwardness and tension as undercurrent while Nandu and mami burning or doing some bakbaking 🤣
this entire sequence can be soooooo endearing if actually depicted true to culture… it is like offering gratitude to ancestors and taking personal responsibility of both sides of families by the couple, praying for strength to do so❤️
But again, these are our local customs … I don’t know what the punjabi’s do. If anybody knows … let us know…
I am okay with any celebration… just for once make it purposeful and poignant moving forward even with drama…but, don’t do jalebis, dear cvs! 🙈
Is there someway this can be sent to cv’s and they can write these scenes?😍
it's a very beautiful culture you have yrr. I know that south India has really detailed and extensive customs when it comes to rituals.
I mean we have family friends for years and they are from Kerala and they just have really beautiful rasam and riwaz.
But in Punjabi families shivratri doesn't extensive rituals. All the couples just go to the temple and pray. And that's it. And it's not compulsory to fast either. It's a choice.
