Michhami Dukkadam is a significant festival celebrated by followers of Jainism.
Derived from the Prakrit language, the phrase “Michhami Dukkadam” translates to “I seek forgiveness” or “May all the evil I have done be forgiven.” This festival holds great spiritual and ethical importance in Jain culture.
During this time, Jains devote themselves to introspection and seek forgiveness from their family, friends, and even strangers. It is a time for self-reflection, personal growth, and nurturing relationships. Jains believe that by seeking forgiveness and forgiving others, one can attain inner peace and liberation from the cycle of birth and death.
The festival is typically celebrated on the last day of Paryushana, an eight or ten-day period of fasting and self-discipline for Jains. On this day, Jains visit temples, offer prayers, and participate in various rituals. They seek forgiveness from each other by saying “Michhami Dukkadam” and seek blessings for a harmonious life ahead.
Michhami Dukkadam is an expression of compassion, humility, and the desire to start anew. It encourages individuals to let go of grudges, conflicts, and negative emotions. By embracing forgiveness, Jains aim to cultivate love, peace, and unity within themselves and their communities.
This festival not only strengthens interpersonal relationships but also promotes ethical values such as non-violence, truthfulness, and non-possessiveness. It serves as a reminder of the importance of forgiveness in leading a virtuous and righteous life.
As Michhami Dukkadam is celebrated, Jains reflect on their past actions, seek forgiveness, and commit themselves to leading a more morally upright and compassionate existence. It is a time of renewal and a chance for individuals to embark on a journey of spiritual growth.
Observance and Rituals
Michhami Dukkadam is observed on the last day of Paryushana, an eight-day fasting and penance period during the Jain holy month of Bhadrapada (August to September). The festival encourages Jains to engage in acts of introspection, self-purification, and forgiveness.
Conclusion
Michhami Dukkadam stands as a powerful reminder of the core tenets of Jainism— ahimsa (non-violence), anekantavada (multiplicity of viewpoints), and aparigraha (non-attachment). It emphasizes the transformative potential of forgiveness and compassion in the journey towards spiritual enlightenment.
Through this festival, Jains reaffirm their commitment to these principles and inspire others to embrace the values of forgiveness, kindness, and harmony in their own lives.
Michhami Dukkadam serves as a beacon of hope and a call to introspection, urging individuals to let go of grudges, seek forgiveness, and nurture a world filled with empathy and love.
Ganeshotsav is a Hindu festival commemorating the birth of the Hindu god Ganesha. The festival is marked with the installation of Ganesha’s clay idols privately in homes and publicly on elaborate pandals.
Observances include chanting of Vedic hymns and Hindu texts, such as prayers and vrata Offerings and prasada from the daily prayers, that are distributed from the pandal to the community, include sweets such as modaka as it is believed to be a favourite of Ganesha.
The festival ends on the tenth day after the start, when the idol is carried in a public procession with music and group chanting, then immersed in a nearby body of water such as a river or sea, called visarjan on the day of Ananta Chaturdashi.
In Mumbai alone, around 150,000 statues are immersed annually. Thereafter the clay idol dissolves, and Ganesha is believed to return to his celestial abode.
Although it is unknown when Ganesh Chaturthi was first observed, the festival has been publicly celebrated in Pune since the era of King Shivaji. The Peshwa in the 18th century were devotees of Ganesha and started as a public Ganesh festival in their capital city of Pune during the month of Bhadrapad.
After the start of the British Raj, the Ganesh festival lost state patronage and became a private family celebration in Maharashtra until its revival by Indian freedom fighter and social reformer Lokmanya Tilak.
Indian freedom fighter Bal Gangadhar Tilak, better known as Lokmanya Tilak championed it as a means to circumvent the colonial British government ban on Hindu gatherings through its anti-public assembly legislation in 1892.
The festival celebrates Ganesha as the God of New Beginnings and the Remover of Obstacles as well as the god of wisdom and intelligence and is observed throughout India, especially in the states such as Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Goa.
Ganesh Chaturthi is also observed in Nepal and by the Hindu diaspora elsewhere such as in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname, other parts of the Caribbean, Fiji, Mauritius, South Africa, the United States, and Europe.
In the Gregorian calendar, Ganesh Chaturthi falls between 22 August and 20 September every year.
Although it was unknown when or where Ganesh Chaturthi was first observed, the public celebration was initiated by Bal Gangadhar Tilak in Pune in the year 1893. At public venues, along with the reading of texts and group feasting, athletic and martial arts competitions are also held.

Few features of ZYXEL WiFi-6 Access Point:
Bringing next-generation Wi-Fi within reach: Zyxel is a true Wi-Fi 6 access point that delivers faster performance and massive increased capacity, which along with unique Zyxel dual-optimized antenna technology, make the user experience even better. Apart from running at faster speed, the WiFi can also accommodate more client devices without any fall-off in speed, allowing an easy scale-up capacity to support hundreds of connections without increased latency.
Powerful performance with dual-optimized antenna: People without RF expertise may not realize that installing an AP optimized for ceiling-mount as wall-mount may cause the ceiling-mount radiation pattern to interfere with other devices up- or downstairs as well as to deliver signals with shorter-than-expected range for its clients. Designed with the innovative dual-optimized antenna, the WiFi adapts to both wall- and ceiling-mount installations. Thus, users can switch between the two optimized antenna modes easily to fit either situation. To boost Wi-Fi speeds for your network, the WiFi is definitely an excellent choice.
4G / 5G cellular network coexistence: With the growing pervasiveness of mobile devices in the wireless network, users start to experience degraded performance, such as ping drops and high latency, however whenever user shutdown the mobile equipment, wireless service resumes working smooth. Thus, to enable 4G / 5G cellular network coexistence and minimize interference from 4G / 5G antennas or signal boosters, the WiFi has built-in 4G / 5G interference filters.

Raksha Bandhan is a popular and traditionally Hindu annual rite or ceremony that is central to a festival of the same name celebrated in South Asia. It is also celebrated in other parts of the world significantly influenced by Hindu culture. On this day, sisters of all ages tie a talisman or amulet called the rakhi around the wrists of their brothers. They symbolically protect them, receive a gift in return, and traditionally invest the brothers with a share of the responsibility of their potential care.
Raksha Bandhan is observed on the last day of the Hindu lunar calendar month of Shraavana, which typically falls in August. The expression “Raksha Bandhan” (Sanskrit, literally “the bond of protection, obligation, or care”) is now principally applied to this ritual. Until the mid-20th century, the expression was more commonly applied to a similar ritual, held on the same day, with precedence in ancient Hindu texts. In that ritual, a domestic priest ties amulets, charms, or threads on the wrists of his patrons, or changes their sacred thread, and receives gifts of money. This is still the case in some places.By contrast, the sister-brother festival, with origins in folk culture, had names which varied with location. Some were rendered as saluno,silono,and rakri.[A ritual associated with saluno included the sisters placing shoots of barley behind the ears of their brothers.
