Dhana Trayodashi or Dhanteras is the first day of the Indian Diwali Festival. The festival is known as "Dhanatrayodashi" or "Dhanvantari Trayodashi". It is celebrated on the thirteenth lunar day of Krishna Paksha in the Vikram Samvat Hindu calendar month of Ashwin.

Dhanvantari is worshipped on the occasion of Dhanvantari Trayodashi. Dhanvantari is considered to be the teacher of all physicians and the originator of Ayurveda. Although Dhanteras has become associated with wealth and people buy gold or silver jewellery and utensils on this day and they also gift silver or gold coins, there is no association of either wealth or gold with Dhanvantari, who is a provider of good health rather than wealth.

In modern times, Dhanteras has come to be known as the most auspicious occasion for buying gold, silver and other metals especially kitchenware. The day also sees heavy purchases of appliances and automobiles.

Dhanteras also marks the beginning of the five day festivities of Diwali.

Janmashtami, also known as ‘Krishna Janmashtami’ is the most important festival of Vaishnavs. The Hindu festival is celebrated every year to commemorate the birth of Lord Krishna, the eighth incarnation of the Lord Vishnu. According to the Hindu lunar calendar, Krishna was born on ‘ashtami’ or the ‘eighth day’ at midnight in the holy month of Shravana. And it precedes the ‘Nandotsav’ festival, which celebrates the occasion when Krishna’s foster father ‘Nanda’ distributed gifts among the community honouring his birth.

May this Janamashtami shower on you blossoms of love and peace. May the divine grace of Lord Krishna be with you today and always.
Happy Krishna Janmashtami!

WELCOME TO KUMBH MELA HARIDWAR 2016

Kumbh Mela is a mass Hindu pilgrimage of faith in which Hindus gather to bathe in a sacred river. Traditionally, four fairs are widely recognized as the Kumbh Melas.
The main festival site is located on the banks of a river:
1. The Ganges River (Ganga) at Haridwar, Uttarakhand ; (Haridwar Kumbh Mela)
2. The confluence of the Ganga and the Yamuna riversand the mythical Sarasvati at Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh ; (Allahabad Kumbh Mela)
3. The Godavari River at Nashik Maharashtra; (Nashik-Trimbakeshwar Simhastha Kumbh Mela)
4. The Kshipra River at Ujjain. (Ujjain Simhastha Kumbha Mela)

Bathing in these rivers is thought to cleanse a person of all sins.
At any given place, the Kumbh Mela is held once in 12 years. There is a difference of around 3 years between the Kumbh Melas at Haridwar and Nashik; the fairs at Nashik and Ujjain are celebrated in the same year or one year apart. The exact date is determined according to a combination of zodiac positions of the Jupiter, the Sun and the Moon. At Nashik and Ujjain, the Mela may be held while a planet is in Leo (Simha in Hindu astrology); in this case, it is also known as Simhastha. At Haridwar and Allahabad, an Ardha("Half") Kumbh Mela is held every sixth year; a Maha ("Great") Kumbh Mela occurs after 144 years.

The exact age of the festival is uncertain. According to medieval Hindu theology, Lord Vishnu dropped drops of Amrita (the drink of immortality) at four places, while transporting it in a kumbha (pot). These four places are identified as the present-day sites of the Kumbh Mela. The name "Kumbh Mela" literally means "kumbha fair". It is known as "Kumbh" in Hindi (due to schwa deletion); inSanskrit and some other Indian languages, it is more often known by its original name "Kumbha"

The festival is one of the largest peaceful gatherings in the world, and as the "world's largest congregation of religious pilgrims".There is no precise method of ascertaining the number of pilgrims, and the estimates of the number of pilgrims bathing on the most auspicious day may vary. millions of people visites Kumbh Mela on a single day,

Being a woman is a terribly difficult task, since it consists principally in dealing with men.

A woman's guess is much more accurate than a man's certainty.

Women are always beautiful. Respect Women.
