Diwali "May the Divine Light of Diwali spread into your life with Peace, Prosperity, Happiness and Good Health."
Culture
Celebrating Diwali is synonymous of siding with light instead of darkness, of the power of knowledge against ignorance, and of opting for good over evil. Diwali or Deepawali, comes from two Hindi words: “deepa” which means light, and “avali” which means row. All these lights are supposed to guide the Goddess Lakshmi who brings wealth, good luck and wisdom on earth. Every home, from huts of poor to mansions of rich are lightened with the orange glow of twinkling earthen lamps known as diyas. Lighting these small earthen lamps welcome Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth and prosperity. Multi-colored rangoli designs, floral decorations and fireworks entail colorful imagery and grandeur to this festival which symbolizes joy and happiness in the coming year. In today’s world where everyone is busy, the celebration of Diwali has its own importance in continuing to maintain the love between brothers and sisters, colleagues, neighbors and relatives. It is the day of food-sharing, gift-giving and reaching out to the inner most depths of the hearts. Diwali on the whole has always been a festival with more social than religious connotations. It is a personal, people-oriented festival where enmities are forgotten, families and friends meet, enjoy and establish a word of closeness.
As a festival of light and beauty Diwali encourages artistic expressions through home-decorations, stage-plays, singing and dancing programs, making gift items and delicious sweets thereby discovering new talents of people. As a result innumerable communities with varying cultures and customs mingle together to make Diwali celebrations a very happy occasion for all. This festival is celebrated on a grand scale in almost all the regions of Mauritius and it is looked upon by some cultures as the beginning of New Calendar or Financial Year. Even countries like Kenya, Thailand, Trinidad, Siam and Malaya celebrate this festival but in their own ways.

Diwali Sweets, the story unveil ...
It all starts with the family coming together to decide on the list of sweets to be prepared followed by the purchase of ingredients needed for their confection. While men get busy shopping for sugar, ghee, flour, milk, besan, oil and sweet spices, the womenfolk actively engage in recipe sharing over the phone or by email. Some bring out their vintage collection of newspaper clippings while the more adventurous ones come up with creations of their own.
Culture Many prefer to begin on the eve or few days before; the ones with more money and less time and/or skill will settle for store bought quality from Bombay Sweets, Anand Sweets, Ashoka Sweets, Milan Sweets, etc. In either case, the final choice will usually be from the following: Besan/Boondi Laddoo – The universal sweet present at every joyous occasion, this delicious morsel is made out of droplets of deep fried chickpea flour. Make sure that you have enough helping hands to assist you in shaping these into golf sized balls. Gulab Jamun – Shaped like a small sausage, it is [again] deep fried and dipped in sugar syrup. Can be stored for days but you may find yourself with empty containers mere hours after you carefully packed everything for distribution. Barfi – Comes in all shapes and flavors, some with exotic names, it is a milk-based delight prepared by different method. The best results are undeniably those made out of paneer/homemade cheese but it takes patience and skill to achieve the perfect texture. Khaja – Our Indian feuilleté, made by layering thin sheets of dough with oil-flour paste to give that distinctive flakiness. Nankhatai – A dainty vegetarian cookie that melts in the mouth due to the liberal amount of ghee that goes in its making. Tekwa - Also a nickname for someone on the heavy side, this soft pillow-like dessert is traditionally filled with ground split peas/dal, very much like a sweet version of our ’staple’ food - the dal puri.
KONEK | 24
Rasgulla – Similar to the gulab jamun except that it is round and spongier in consistency. Tends to absorb a lot of syrup. Gato Coco – The simplest of all, the rustic gato coco is made by cooking a mixture of sugar and grated coconut to a thick sticky mass and leaving it to crystalize to room temperature. Some add powdered milk to give it a creamy texture.
Gato Patate – Another sweet responsible for the admission of many diabetic patients post-diwali, this is a genuine ’Made in Mauritius’ delicacy. Roughly described as a sweet potato dumpling stuffed with sweetened coconut, it remains the number 1 favorite in most households.

Arrival of 1st Indentured Laborers Remember the date - The 2nd of November... This public holiday commemorates a major milestone in the history of Mauritius. Under the French, and then the British, sugar production became a major source of income to the island and the industry was dependent on the vast amount of manual labor provided by slaves. In 1807, slavery was abolished in the British Empire, although it took until 1835 for this to finally take effect in Mauritius. The potential shortfall in workers could have been catastrophic so the government agreed with the British administration in India on a system to import laborers from India. This system was known as the 'great experiment'. By 1934, the first laborers had arrived. The workers were treated little better than the slaves and by 1839 enquiries into abuses of the system led to the import of labor being banned. In theory, the laborers, unlike the slaves before them, had a contract, ensuring that they were paid, housed and at the end of the contract were shipped home. The reality was much harsher, with pitiful wages, appalling living conditions and often they were swindled out of their return ticket. However, due to pressure from planters immigration was resumed in 1842.

Gradually conditions improved and at the end of their contracts many laborers chose to stay in Mauritius and could buy their own land and settle down. Over time, and following social reforms, the new Indo-Mauritians began to play a more powerful role in Mauritius and by the 1920s they already owned a large percentage of the agricultural land. The second-generation began to take up roles outside agriculture, such as in the colonial service. The immigration of workers from India finally came to an end between 1938 and 1939, but not before almost half a million Indian workers had come to Mauritius under the scheme. Many other countries imported labor from India, including the West Indies, Fiji, Reunion, Seychelles and South Africa, often for work in sugar cane plantations, but Mauritius was the first country to take part in 'the great experiment' and, in fact, imported more indentured laborers than anywhere else. This accounts for why around 68% of Mauritians have Indian ancestry. Aapravasi Ghat (Hindi for immigration depot) is the main site associated with the arrival of indentured laborers, as it was where all new arrivals were processed, but there are other sites related to their history, including Flat Island (a former quarantine station), and old sugar estates at Trianon and Union Vale, which have buildings formerly lived in by laborers. Aapravasi Ghat was declared a World Heritage Site in 2006, and consists of three of the original buildings. The Ministry of Arts and Culture and the Aapravasi Ghat Trust Fund organize events to mark this significant event every year.

Rituals of an Indian Wedding Indian weddings, also called ‘Vivaah’, are best known for the grandeur, traditions, grace, colors and almost carnival-type celebration associated with this sacred event. While there are many subcultures in the Hindu Culture, this is the basic version of an “authentic Indian wedding”.
Pitthi is an auspicious ritual performed for
good luck. Pitthi is a paste made mainly of turmeric, chickpea flour and rose water. Family members and well-wishers of the bride and groom apply the paste on the bride/groom’s skin. This yellow paste is thought to brighten and even the skin tone and is applied one of the days prior to the wedding ceremony.
KONEK | 32
The Mehndi event is a colorful and fun cel-
ebration held the night before the wedding, which is traditionally celebrated by the women on the bride’s side of the family. Generally, a professional Mehdi artist or relative will apply henna in intricate designs to the hands and feet of the bride and other women in the family. These intricate designs symbolize joy, beauty, spiritual awakening and offering. The bride’s mehendi sometimes goes half way to her knees.
Wedding Ceremony Indian weddings not only unite Bride and Groom but also their families. Family plays a key role in making life decisions. India is a collectivist culture to the core. The ceremony begins with arrival of Groom.
Baraat (The groom’s procession): Accom-
panied by his family and friends in a festive procession known as the baraat, the groom arrives at the entrance of the wedding venue on a horse. The procession consists of his family and friends singing and dancing around him to music generally played by a professional dhol (large bass drum) player. The baraat is met by the bride’s family at the entrance to the wedding venue. It symbolizes the pleasure and happiness of the Groom’s family in accepting the bride as a part of their family; as their very own.
Milni (Meeting of the two families): The bride’s mother greets the groom with a welcoming ritual. Relatives of the bride and groom embrace and greet each other with garlands. The bride’s family then escorts the groom to the mandap, a canopied altar where the ceremony is performed. The mandap represents the home that the bride and groom will make together.
33 | KONEK
Kanya Aagaman (Arrival of the Bride): The bride enters the hall and is escorted to the mandap by her maternal uncle and aunt, signifying that the bride’s maternal side approves of the union. In other parts of India, the bride is escorted by her sisters, cousins and close female friends.
Jai Mala (Exchange of Garlands): Once the
bride approaches the mandap, the bride and groom exchange floral garlands, signifying their acceptance of one another.
Ganesh Puja (Prayer to Lord Ganesh): The ceremony begins with a worship of Lord Ganesh, the destroyer of all obstacles. The priest guides the groom and bride’s parents in offering flowers, sweets and prayer to Lord Ganesh.
Kanyadaan and Hasta Melap (Giving Away
of the Bride): At this point, the bride’s father pours sacred water in his daughter’s hand and places her hand in the groom’s hand, officially giving away his most precious gift to the groom. The groom’s sister or cousin then ties the end of the groom’s scarf to the bride’s sari with betelnuts, copper coins and rice, symbolizing unity,
KONEK | 34
prosperity and happiness. The knot represents the eternal bond of marriage. Vivah Havan (Lighting of the Sacred Fire): The priest then lights the sacred fire or Agni. Agni symbolizes the divine presence as a witness of the ceremony. Commitments made in the presence of agni are made in the presence of God.
Discover
Mangal Phere (Circling the Sacred Fire): The bride and groom walk around the sacred fire seven times keeping in mind the four aspirations in life: Dharma (duty to each other, family and God), Artha (prosperity), Karma (energy and passion) and Moksha (salvation). The bride, representing divine energy, leads the groom in the first three rounds, while the groom leads in the last four rounds, signifying balance and completeness. In some cultures, the bride and groom walk around the fire four times, with the bride leading in the first three rounds, and the groom leading in the final round. The bride’s brother places rice grains in her hands after she completes each round to signify his pledge to always support and protect her in times of need. Once the couple has completed the four rounds, there’s a race to see who will sit down first. It is said that whoever sits down first will rule the house.

Saptapadi (The Seven Sacred Steps): This is
the most beautiful part of an Indian wedding. It has so much depth, purpose and meaning. The couple takes seven steps together, taking a sacred vow with each step: 1. Together we will live with respect for one another. 2. Together we will develop mental, physical and spiritual balance. 3. Together we will prosper, acquire wealth and share our accomplishments. 4. Together we will acquire happiness, harmony and knowledge through mutual love. 5. Together we will raise strong, virtuous children. 6. Together we will be faithful to one another and exercise self-restraint and longevity.
7. Together we will remain lifelong partners and achieve salvation. When they return to their seats, the bride will move to sit on the groom’s left side, taking the closest possible position to the groom’s heart.
The groom then offers the bride lifelong protection by placing a mangalsutra, or sacred necklace made of black and gold beads, around her neck and applying sindoor (red vermillion powder) on the crown of her forehead. These two offerings signify the bride’s status as a married woman and the groom devotion to the bride. The bride and groom also exchange rings at this time and feed each other sweets.
37 | KONEK
Aashirvaad (Blessings for the Married Couple): Women from both families whisper blessings into the bride’s ear. The couple then bows down to the priest, their parents and elder relatives to receive their final blessings. The guests shower the newlywed couple with flowers and rice to wish them a long and happy marriage.
Bidaai (Going away of the Bride to the Groom’s house) – The bride says her final goodbye to her family and the father gives his prized possession to the Groom’s father. The procession ends joyfully, yet is often bittersweet for those closest to the Bride and Groom. Writer: Divya Patwari Picture: Weddart by Soumya & Radesh

The beginning‌... In 2012, their manager Percy, who is also part of a music festival in England called World Event Young Artists [WEYA], was searching for a band with a roots vibe. He knew Sarasvati from earlier and at the time all of the group members were in different bands. They all came together, faith or destiny you choose, but it was a blessing for the music world and from there their journey began till now and we are sure that we still have loads to discover from this amazing group called Patyatann.
