How do Sikhs celebrate Diwali?

Answer 1

you see, this is how the Sikh race celebrate birth.

Among the Hindus, the birth ceremonies start even before the birth of a child. When the mother is expecting, she is served gifts (reet) amid rejoicing among relations and neighbors. The birth of the child is announced by dai (midwife) to the members of the family. In case of a male child, she hangs some branches of mango tree at the top of the outer door of the house. An iron bangle is also tied to the cot of the mother. The senior most members in the family, usually the father-in-law or the father, consult the priest if the time of the birth is auspicious. If it is not, upai (an expiatory ceremony) is held. If the child is declared as gand mool (born under the bad influence of stars), the necessary remedies are observed by the parents of the child. For a period of 40 days, after the delivery, the mother does not mix with people and remains confined to the house, as the period is called sutak. However, this practice of quarantine is on the wane. The mother starts feeding the infant on the third day after birth. Before the first feeding, there is a ceremony and the child's aunt washes the breast of the mother with dubh grass diped in water. The child is named after consulting the priest. Now a days, many people do not bother the priest and name the child themselves. The mundan sanskar (ceremony of shaving the head of the child) is performed during the first five years.

The Sikhs do not consult priests on birth of a child. They name the child by opening the Adi Granth at random and the first letter of the first passage on the left page is taken as the first letter of the child's name. The sutak period of 40 days is not strictly observed by mothers. Some of the Sikhs perform kesi dahi ceremony by putting curd in the hair of boy- a ceremony corresponding to the mundan ceremony among the Hindus.

Among the Muslims, on the birth of a male child, the Mullah visits the house of the new born on any of the first three days following the birth and recites the kalma (holy words) in the child's ear. After three days, the mother comes out with the child in her lap and gazes at the sky and the stars. The period of impurity ends with the fast (iqiga). The child is named in consultation with the Mullah.

Circumcision (sunat) is an important ceremony among the Muslims. It is performed on boys at any time before the age of twelve.

A child born in a Christian family is christened by the priest. The ceremony is called baptism.

so that's it folks xxx :)

Answer 2

The Hindu New year, referred to as Divali, (you probably pronounce it as Diwali, but its Divali) takes place in November. My father is from India, so we celebrate this every year. You light lamps and place them around and outside of your house. There is a platter that has some rice, yogurt, a blossom, kheer (Indian rice pudding) and I think either cardemum or chili powder. Each person gets a tikka, or a streak of yogurt down there forward, as a blessing. The platter is covered until the whole family is present.
