Festivals of Maharashtra (25 May 2016)

In this book we bring to our readers the details of all our diverse Hindu festivals, mainly the festivals that are celebrated by the Marathi speaking world. It is our effort to document the traditions the culture and to draw the Scientific, Social, Vedic significance of a particular ritual, the prescribed food, etc.

Festivals are associated to our Gods, with stories from the puranas, to the changing climate. These aspects of festivals give an insight into the deeper significance, the positive effect on our mind, body and spirit, underlying the celebrations.

Well researched text and images. Many of the images have been photographed by staging elaborate pujas, and feature people celebrating the festival.

Includes an audio CD of shlokas (prayers and mantras) researched from Hindu sacred texts for each festival and recited in a melodious voice, making it spiritually elevating.
