EP52: Why do Hindus, Sikhs and Jains celebrate Diwali & Bandi Chorr Divas? | South Asian Holidays Explained

Happy Diwali and Bandi Chorr Divas! ✨We are trying something new on the podcast this week and doing a South Asian holiday deep dive and breaking down why different religions like Hinduism, Sikhism and Jainism celebrate Diwali and Bandi Chorr Divas. Growing up in the UK, unfortunately all these festivals are sometimes bucketed into one celebration when each community celebrates for a slightly different reason. I find it really interesting to learn more about different cultures and hopefully you find it interesting too. So today we are learning more about Diwali and Bandi Chorr Divas! If you are celebrating, wishing you loads of love and light 💛Love, Preeti Timestamps: (00:00) intro(02:45) why is diwali called the festival of light?(03:34) why does the date always change?(04:20) hinduism(05:37) sikhism(06:29) jainism(07:18) growing up british asian celebrating diwali & bandi chorr divas(09:59) what diwali and bandi chorr divas means to me If this episode resonated, don’t forget to follow or subscribe to It’s Preeti Personal and leave a 5★ review as it helps other Brown girls find the podcast and feel a little less alone 💛————————————————————ABOUT IT’S PREETI PERSONAL:  This podcast is all about sharing South Asian stories and having everyday conversations but from the lens of being a brown girl so expect girl talk episodes covering topics like love, career, mental health, finances, friendships, female health and living life in our 20’s and 30’s. ————————————————————SOCIAL MEDIA:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/preetipersonal/YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@itspreetipersonal⁠TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZSvmbM63/Email: [email protected]’t forget to subscribe and follow @itspreetipersonal on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music or the place you listen to podcasts————————————————————MUSIC:  Upbeat-party by scottholmesmusic.com
