Guest guest Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Resp. Neelam ji, Hari OmI will very much appreciate if you kindly enlighten me ( I presume that you may be knowing about...) about some cultural and social aspects of certain activities observed in western UP and around;Ladies on TEEJ, Karva Chauth, Aghoi Ashtmi and some other occasions, do some POOJAS ( prayers etc. ) but also do BAYAINA ( a kind of ceremony - they give some money + sweets etc. to their in-laws, mother-in-law or sister-in-law etc. ) I understand the aspect of the prayer which is religious but I think BYAINA is mostly cultural/social and local. There must be some significance of BAYAINA? ( I know that you have very rich knowledge data base that is why posed this question in this forum though may be slightly irrelevant here ).Thank you and with regards and greetings,Davendra GuptaDavendra K.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Dear friend, Our culture is based on our strong moral and social values which have their basis/ source in our religous philosophy/ ways of living. Paying token/ formal respect, regards and love to peers like seniors in the family and other memebrers of the family and giving up mental inhibitions/ psychological knots and living a life full of natural loving relationship has been ingrained into these festivities. Otherwise what would be meaning of giving own money/husband's money to his mother or his sister during some festive/religious occasions ?
