तिनका तिनका तिहार - Tinka Tinka Tihar is a Marathi book written by Vartika Nanda-Vimlaa Mehra and published by Mehta Publishing House. The book is about the festival of Tihar, which is celebrated in Nepal and India. It describes the history of the festival, the different rituals that are performed, and the significance of each one. The book also includes recipes for some of the traditional dishes that are eaten during Tihar. Tihar is a five-day festival that is celebrated in Nepal and India in the month of Kartik (October-November). The festival is dedicated to Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed god of wisdom and prosperity, and to Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and good fortune. The first day of Tihar is called Ghatasthapana, which means "the establishment of the pot." On this day, a clay pot is filled with water and decorated with flowers and leaves. The pot is then placed on a raised platform in the home. The second day of Tihar is called Dhanteras, which means "the night of wealth." On this day, people clean their homes and businesses and decorate them with lights and diyas (small oil lamps). They also buy new clothes and jewelry. The third day of Tihar is called Naraka Chaturdashi, which means "the fourteenth day of hell." On this day, people fast and pray to Lord Ganesha to remove all obstacles from their lives. The fourth day of Tihar is called Lakshmi Puja, which means "the worship of Lakshmi." On this day, people wake up early in the morning and take a bath. They then wear new clothes and go to the temple to worship Goddess Lakshmi. They also offer her food and sweets. The fifth and final day of Tihar is called Bhai Dooj, which means "the day of the brother." On this day, sisters pray for the long and prosperous lives of their brothers. They also give them gifts and sweets. Tihar is a time for family and friends to come together and celebrate. It is a time to pray for good health, wealth, and prosperity. It is also a time to enjoy delicious food and festivities. If you are interested in learning more about the festival of Tihar, I highly recommend reading the book तिनका तिनका तिहार by Vartika Nanda-Vimlaa Mehra. This book is a comprehensive and informative guide to the festival, and it is sure to provide you with a deeper understanding of this important cultural tradition.
