About My Cultural Background
Transcript: Aarushi Arora 10/4/19 About My Cultural Background My Country Topic 1 My country is India. India is a very fun, and loving place with many festivals. There is lots of cool clothing, schooling and we honor our gods a lot. Subtopic 1 Subtopic 1 There are many, many festivals to honor the gods and the woman. That is why India is such a fun country. India is very strict as well for schooling. India has many different varieties of clothing as well. There are lehenga, sari, suits and much more. Section 2 Subtopic 2 Topic 2 Language and Clothing The Indian language is very unique. We speak a language called Hindi and it is very hard to write (even I don't know how to write it). The Indian clothing is very unique and beautiful as well. They are kind of heavy but everyone looks beautiful in them. They are not uncomfortable at all. Their are many different types of clothing such as suits, lenghas, sari and much more. For boys there is a kurta. Subtopic 2 Subtopic 1 These are the many letters in the Hindi alphabet. Hindi is VERY complex (for me). The one on the right is the man wearing a kurtaa. The girl on the left is the one wearing the lengha. I personally think these are very beautiful. I love to wear them. Subtopic 2 Topic 3 Festivals The Indian religion has so many festivals. They are all really fun and we make sure to honor the girls sometimes, sometimes the boys and always god no matter what. We just had a week of fasting, to show god and the girls respect. Also on the 27th we will have a festival called Diwali, it is a five day festival honoring the gods. Subtopic 3 Subtopic 1 This is one festival. it is the festival lights. It is when we light up our whole house with candles. It is coming on the 27th and it is a five day festival. We also put mehndi on our hands. This is another festival called Holi. This festival is a festival full of colors and it makes your day bright and happy! Subtopic 2 Topic 4 My Gods and religion We have many different gods that we honor. They have different roles to play in our lives. Some gods are for education, some are for happiness and so on. We honor our religion just as much. Their might be certain things we cannot do at certain times, but that is fine with us. The one o the left is for education, Saraswati Mata. The one on the right is Ganesh Ji, the one for happiness. Subtopic 1 Our religion is very fascinating and full of religious beliefs. Subtopic 2 Subtopic 2 Food Topic 1 The Hindu religion has many types of foods to eat. Our everyday food is called roti. It is a type of Indian bread and we eat it with sabji and rice.
