1. Connecting Generations
When grandparents teach children how to light a diya or prepare a pooja thali, they are not only performing a ritual but also passing down stories, values, and heritage.
2. Festivals as Cultural Anchors
Celebrating Diwali, Navratri, or Ganesh Chaturthi abroad creates a sense of community, helping families stay connected to their roots.
3. Creating a Sense of Home
Simple acts like placing a toran at the entrance or lighting incense create a familiar atmosphere, reminding families of home in India.
4. Building Identity for Future Generations
For children growing up abroad, these rituals provide a way to understand their cultural identity and strengthen family bonds.
