"Divali"
One of the most picturesque is the Hindu festival Divali or "festival of lights'. Divali celebrates the return from exile Frames. It is celebrated in November and all the Hindu houses waiting for him. Each corner of the house is cleaned and new curtains are hung. Metai, Halwa and other special foods are prepared. Around each house with a clay cup of oil and wick are arranged in beautiful patterns - this is called Diyas. Wicks are lit evening. Usually people go to the temple - Mandir - to worship. Other people like to walk and admire all the Diyas in homes around the village.
"Phagwah"
Phagwah is a Hindu religious festival in honor of the victory of good over evil. Hindus traditionally wear white clothes in Phagwah and throw in their liquid called Abeer. Abeer is a red dye which symbolizes the blood of a despotic king Kiranya, which in Hindu tradition had burned alive, his son Prince Prahalad, because of the suffering that people endured at the hands of his father. Powder, perfume and water are thrown on the family, friends and neighbors. It is a day of joyful celebration and friendly.
"Mashramani"
The word comes from Mashramani Indian language and in translation means "the celebration of a job well done". Mashramani, sometimes referred to as "Mash", usually is February 23. This is probably the most colorful festival - the assumption of spectacular costumes, attend parades, bands playing and dancing in the streets to the accompaniment of music. This is a reminder of African heritage of Guyana.
