🇮🇳 FACTS ABOUT INDIA 🇮🇳

The name Assam is derived from the word asama, meaning “peerless” in the now extinct Ahom language. The neighbouring states of Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Mizoram, and Meghalaya were once part of Assam. It is a state in northeastern India, south of the eastern Himalayas along the Brahmaputra and Barak River valleys.

Narali Purnima (Hindi: नराली पूर्णिमा), also known as Coconut Day is an important festival celebrated majorly by Hindus in the western coastal regions of India. It is observed on the Purnima (full moon) in the month of Shravana in the Hindu calendar and therefore referred as Shravana Purnima. In English calendar, this occurrence falls between the months of July-August.

On the day of Narali Purnima, Hindu devotees worship Lord Varun. On this occasion, a ‘nariyal’ (coconut) is offered to the Lord of Sea. It is believed that brightly performing the puja rituals on Shravana Purnima, they can please the Lord and seek His protection from all dangers of the sea. The ‘Upnayan’ and ‘Yagyopaweet’ rituals are among the most widely followed rituals.
