下周找不到印度客戶不要急,他們過節(jié)去啦!
排燈節(jié)(Diwali Festival),在印度、尼泊爾是非常重要的全國性節(jié)日,慶?!耙怨饷黩?qū)走黑暗,以善良戰(zhàn)勝邪惡”。今年的排燈節(jié)慶祝從11月5日開始,11月9日結(jié)束,為期5天,11月7日是正日子。
這個節(jié)日對于印度教徒的意義,相當(dāng)于圣誕節(jié)對于基督教徒的意義、農(nóng)歷新年對中國人的意義。由于它的重要地位和隆重慶祝儀式,很多對印度稍有了解的“外人”甚至將其誤認為是印度新年。
全世界很多國家如印度、斐濟、新加坡、馬來西亞、尼泊爾,以及有大量印度人聚居的地方如加拿大、美國、英國、南非以及新西蘭都會慶祝排燈節(jié)。
一般慶祝日程是這樣的:
01 第一天(11月5日,2018)
紀念財富之神Lakshmi,在印度某些地方則是紀念死神Yamaraj。人們?yōu)榱擞由竦o入門,會進行大掃除,并上街添購新餐具、裝飾品。相傳財富之神Lakshmi最愛干凈,如果房子太臟,她連看都不會看,財運也就飛了。
02 第二天(11月6日,2018)
天神Krishna打敗惡魔Narakasura,將天下眾生從恐懼憂慮中解放出來,所以這一天開始燃放大量的煙花爆竹以示驅(qū)走邪惡。
03 第三天(11月7日,2018)
排燈節(jié)的正日子,也是慶?;顒幼盥≈氐囊惶?。人們恭迎天神Lakshmi,女士們會穿上印度傳統(tǒng)裙裝sari,男士們則穿上kurthas。百姓穿上新衣、商人換新帳本,象征新生活的開始。還有一項重要儀式是祈求財富之神 Lakshmi的護佑,雖然排燈節(jié)期間印度的公司都放假了,但這一天股市會有一小時的特別交易,以作為呈獻給Lakshmi的禮物。
04 第四天(11月8日,2018)
光明統(tǒng)治的第一天,全家聚在一起共享天倫。
05 第五天(11月9日,2018)
節(jié)日的最后一天,屬于姐妹的日子,兄弟們會帶著禮物到姐妹家中拜訪。
所以下個星期聯(lián)系不上你的印度客人很正常,他們過節(jié)去了!
