So this is the holy month of Margashira.
Margasira Masam is the 9th month in the Hindu Calendar. The month got its name after Mrigasira Nakshatra or star when coincides with the full moon day of the month. The month is also known by the name Agrahayana which is considered as the month of equinox. The meaning of Agra is elder and that of ayana is transition / travel.
So being Hindu and Being Odia, they say we celebrate 13 festivals in 12 months.
We actually love celebrating all the festivals.
Being a winter baby, winter is my favorite season of the year and I love each festival making it more special.

Well, so what's special about this month is.. According to mythology the married women celebrate "Manabasa Gurubara" on every Thursday of this Margasira month for welcoming Goddess Lakshmi!
Here on this day, they wake up early in the morning..not exactly morning.. They wake up before sunrise..takes bathe, cleans house and make the alpana designs at the doorsteps and near the tulsi Chaura(temple).
They welcome Goddess Lakshmi with beautiful alpanas /Jhotis. (Alpana refers to colourful motifs, sacred art or painting done with hands and paint which is mainly a paste of rice and flour on auspicious occasions). Lovely occasion and wonderful celebration.
Proud being Odia as always!
