My friends I have not written any post here for last more then 20 days or more. The reason for this is that I am having more work load at my office and after coming home has to visit other people house.
Here there is a religious function that start from 14th of January every year and it goes for 12 to 15 days. Married Ladies only celebrate it. It is called "Haldi Kumkum". In this ceremony married women being called at home and givrn some gift after putting on them Haldi & Kumkum Tilak on them". As other ladies comes to our house we have to also visit other ladies houses.
Actually it sort of gathering and meeting function for the married ladies by wearing traditional dresses with fully Shringar (wearing gold ornament etc).
This function is mostly celebrated in many part of India.
