There
are various ceremonies in the Punjabi culture that are held
with great reverance, be it a marriage, the birth of a child
or even prayers for the departed soul. Among the Hindus, the
marriage ceremony is generally performed late at night and
goes on till dawn. While for the sikhs, the ceremony takes
place in the day. During the birth of a child light is kept
on day and night in the room of the mother and the baby for
five, even eleven, or thirteen days after the birth. And among
the Hindus, when a person is on the death-bed, someone recites
verses from the Geeta; the Sikhs offer strength to the departing
soul by reading Sukhmani-the Psalm of Peace.
The culture of Punjab,
from among the cultures of the world, has its own unique fragrance.
It is unmatched. Punjabis don't profess and practice hospitality
in their own land only but carry it, untainted and virgin
to the lands where they emigrate and keep alight the zest
of humane love which is an organic trait of their culture.
There in no country in the world where the have not created
waves.
