00:00Do you know, Anokhi had lots of fun in learning about Diwali, Dussehra, Eid-ul-Fitr, Gurpurab
00:09and Christmas.
00:12And she also remembers that these festivals have religious importance and are called religious
00:18festivals.
00:20But she doesn't know what type of festivals are Independence Day, Republic Day and Gandhi
00:31Jayanti.
00:32Can you tell her what do we call these festivals?
00:39Wonderful, kiddos!
00:42These festivals have national importance and are called national festivals.
00:54Kids, do you remember from where did we study about these festivals?
01:02Very smart!
01:04We have learnt about all these festivals in chapter Days to Celebrate of your EVS book.
01:16Children, other than the national and religious festivals, we celebrate festivals like Raksha
01:25Bandhan, Teej, Janmashtami, Holi, Durga Pooja, Pongal and lots and lots of festivals.
01:37Let's learn about a few of these festivals.
01:43Can you guess which festival is it?
01:47Yes, it's the festival of colors, Holi.
01:52Children, Holi is known as the festival of colors.
01:57It celebrates the arrival of spring season and end of winter season.
02:04It is the festival to play and laugh and to forget and forgive.
02:11On this day, everyone plays with dry colors, water balloons and have lots and lots of fun.
02:22Let's now watch this video to learn more about Holi.
02:30Jalebi Street is smiling.
02:32Let's find out why.
02:36It is Holi tomorrow, the festival of colors and Bubble is trying to make water balloons.
02:43Hold on tight, make a gun sign, wrap the pointer and the tall man together nice.
02:54Tuck inside and pull to seal tight.
03:00I did it, I did it.
03:04Thank you mummy.
03:08Hands up.
03:10No.
03:17How could you?
03:19My first water balloon.
03:22I wanted to show daddy.
03:25I will never talk to you ever again.
03:31Sorry Bubble.
03:37Colors.
03:38Bubble, what are you doing?
03:43Okay, okay.
03:45Who wants to make new colors?
03:47New colors.
03:49That's right.
03:51Mixing some of these colors makes completely new colors.
03:56Really, how?
03:58Let me show you.
03:59Bubble, give me the red and white colors.
04:09Wow Bubble, that makes such a pretty pink.
04:13Can I try?
04:21Orange, orange.
04:23We will have the best colors for Holi tomorrow.
04:26Yes.
04:27Come on Krish, let's try and make your favorite sky blue now.
04:31Sky blue, sky blue.
04:33Sky blue, sky blue.
04:37Today is the festival of Holi.
04:40All of Jalebi street is playing together.
04:51Wow, these are very cool colors.
04:54Where did you buy them?
04:55We made them.
04:58Krish, quickly.
05:00Give me your gun.
05:02Give me, give me, give me.
05:04Hands up.
05:07Oh, oh.
05:08Bubble has broken Krish's water gun.
05:11Krish, I am sorry.
05:14I didn't mean to break it.
05:19Krish, remember when you broke Bubble's balloon by mistake?
05:23She forgot about it, right?
05:26So you have to accept her sorry and forget about it.
05:34Everyone teases each other on Holi.
05:37And everyone also forgives and forgets on Holi.
05:51I hope you like the video.
05:54Kids, the next festival which we are going to study is Durga Puja.
06:01It is one of the famous festivals of India.
06:05It is celebrated with much excitement and joy especially in West Bengal.
06:13Kids, West Bengal is one of the states of India.
06:18This day marks the victory of good over bad.
06:23I hope you remember the meaning of victory, kids.
06:27It means winning over.
06:31People worship Goddess Durga on this day.
06:39Kids, now tell me who is he?
06:43Now tell me who is he?
06:47Yes, right.
06:49He is Lord Krishna.
06:52And now we are going to learn about the birthday of Lord Krishna which is Janmashtami.
07:02Kids, on this day, the image of Lord Krishna is bathed in water and milk,
07:10dressed in new clothes and worshipped.
07:13People decorate temples with leaves and flowers to celebrate the birthday of Lord Krishna.
07:20Children, let's learn more about this festival by watching this video.
07:40Apple, I want apple.
07:44Hey Max, could you please pluck one for my little brother?
07:50No way, look at yourself.
07:54Mean Max.
07:56Babu, I want apple.
07:59Okay Krish, let me try.
08:10Wee!
08:14Naz, do you have your slingshot?
08:17Can you aim at that apple?
08:20I can try, but it looks quite high.
08:30Looks like no one gets the apple today.
08:35Looks like no one gets the apple today.
08:39Apple.
08:41Babu tried.
08:43Mean Max.
08:45Krish is telling Daddy Kapoor about the apple tree.
08:48He is still upset.
08:51I want apple.
08:53Don't worry Krish, there are plenty of apples at home.
08:57You can eat one there.
08:59No, no, I want apple from tree, not home.
09:15Daddy, Daddy, what are those people doing?
09:19Celebrating Janmashtami.
09:21What is Janma?
09:23It's a festival for Lord Krishna.
09:25We do exactly what little Krishna did in Vrindavan.
09:30When he wanted to eat butter.
09:33What did Lord Krishna do in Vrindavan, Daddy?
09:37Lord Krishna loved butter and ghee a lot.
09:41He would gobble up whatever his mummy made.
09:44Mummy Yashoda would tie the butter in a pot and hang it high on the ceiling.
09:50So he couldn't reach it.
09:54Wow!
09:55Lord Krishna was a very naughty God, right Daddy?
10:00Yes, he was.
10:02And he never gave up.
10:04He and his friends made a pyramid just like this one.
10:08And reached the butter and the ghee.
10:10Then they gobbled up all of it.
10:13Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble.
10:16Sounds like fun.
10:18Yes, Babu.
10:19Little Krishna knew that with teamwork, anything is achievable.
10:24Teamwork?
10:25Sometimes it's tough to do some things alone.
10:29But with friends, anything is possible.
10:32As a team, together.
10:35Look.
10:42Looks like Janmashtami has given Babu an idea.
10:46Hi, guys.
10:47I have an idea.
10:49But it needs teamwork.
10:53Sure.
10:54What's the idea?
10:55The idea is Team Krishna.
11:00Team Krishna?
11:02Bunny, you are strong enough to lift any of us, right?
11:07Yes, yes.
11:08You and Maddy will lift me, Naz and Div on your shoulders.
11:14For what?
11:15So that you get closer to the apple, take better aim and bring it down.
11:23Just like Lord Krishna and his friends.
11:26Oh, great idea.
11:28Let's do this.
11:29Krish will catch the falling apples here.
11:32Okay.
11:33Let's go, Team Krishna.
11:41Yeah!
11:42Got it.
11:43Apple, apple, apple, apple.
11:45Wee!
11:52Wow!
11:54Yay!
11:56Yay!
11:59Yay!
12:00Best sister in the world.
12:02Kids, did you know just like we celebrate Lodi in Punjab,
12:08people of Tamil Nadu celebrate Pongal.
12:11Let's now learn what is Pongal.
12:16Children, Pongal is the harvest festival of Tamil Nadu.
12:21Kids, harvest means the time of gathering crops.
12:27On this day, farmers thank sun for bountiful harvest.
12:33Bountiful means large amount of something.
12:36That means the farmers thank sun for providing lots and lots of sunlight
12:43so that they could get a lot of crops.
12:49The festival celebrates prosperity and life.
12:53Prosperity means being successful.
12:58Kids, let me tell you an interesting fact.
13:03Do you know Pongal, Lodi, Makar Sankranti and Bihu?
13:10All these festivals are celebrated on the same day in different parts of India.
13:17Isn't it amazing?
13:21Let's now watch a video to learn more about it.
13:32Jalebi Street.
13:37Bye-bye.
13:42A bonfire!
13:45Wow!
13:51Looks like barbecue time.
13:54Hey, Bubble.
13:55This is for tonight.
13:57But not for a barbecue.
14:00This is for Lodi.
14:02Look, Bubble.
14:03My dad is also doing the same thing.
14:06Dad, why is our Lodi separate?
14:09Not Lodi, Maddy.
14:11This is for Pongal.
14:13Hey, kids.
14:14Nice kites.
14:16Must be for Makar Sankranti.
14:20That's what Mitra ma'am said.
14:22Tomorrow is Makar Sankranti.
14:25My daddy said it's Lodi.
14:27And your daddy said it's Pongal.
14:30Huh?
14:31Three festivals on the same day?
14:35Maddy doesn't like being confused.
14:38Maddy always likes to know.
14:41Let's see if he can find the answer.
14:50Give me some.
14:53I love popcorn.
14:56Tomorrow will be awesome.
14:58My kites fly the highest.
15:01Bubble, I want highest kite.
15:04Okay, Krish.
15:05I'll try.
15:06I can't come.
15:08I have to do Pongal puja.
15:10Who is Pongal?
15:13Pongal is a festival.
15:14Maddy, come help me distribute this.
15:16Okay.

15:35is throwing popcorn into the fire.
15:38Like this.

15:44Happy Lodi.
15:47Grandma Kapoor is going to tell us

16:17I know.
16:18When the farmer's crops
16:21are all ready to go to the market,
16:23it's harvest time.
16:25Oh, excellent, Bubble.
16:29Ah, I get it.
16:31It's just different names
16:33in different parts of India.

18:05Did you enjoy the festival of Raksha Bandhan
18:08which was celebrated on 3rd of August this year?
18:14I know, you must have enjoyed it a lot.
18:18Let's now learn about this festival.
18:23Kids, Raksha Bandhan celebrates the bond of love
18:27between a brother and a sister.
18:30On this day, sisters tie Rakhi on their brother's wrist
18:34and pray for his health and well-being.
18:39Kids, let's now watch this video to learn about this festival.
18:44The Rakhi Connection
18:48Mummy Kapoor is taking the kids shopping for Rakhi.
18:53A Rakhi is a thread tied by the sister on a brother's hand.
18:58Krish, what Rakhi design do you want?
19:02Car shape.
19:03No, rocket shape.
19:05No, no.
19:06Lion shape.
19:08No, silly.
19:10Choose a pretty design.
19:12Like a flower or a butterfly.
19:16No, I don't want Rakhi then.
19:19You see Krish, the Rakhi is always chosen by the sister
19:23because she is tying it on the brother's hand
19:25which shows her love for him.
19:31Wait, I'll tell you.
19:34So, I choose the Rakhi and Krish chooses a gift for me.
19:40Right, mama?
19:41Right.
19:46Wow!
19:47Krish, Krish, I'll tell you something.
19:51You can choose your own Rakhi and I will choose my own gift.
19:58Okay?
20:00Deal.
20:01Yay! Car Rakhi.
20:04Yay!
20:05Yay!
20:09Yes!
20:17This one.
20:30Mama, why tie Rakhi?
20:32You know, when the sister ties the knot of the thread,
20:35she says, I pray for you to be safe, not healthy and happy.
20:42I pray for you to be safe and healthy and happy.
20:49Now your turn, Krish.
20:51Here you go.
20:52Say, I promise to take care of you and protect you.
20:57Protect you?
20:59Bubble, I promise to take care of you and protect you.
21:09Oh, well done everyone.
21:12Now it's Mithai time.
21:14Mithai.
21:15Yay!
21:19Yummy.
21:20Yay!
21:23Missed the swing.
21:25See this Rakhi?
21:28Mama said my job to protect Bubble.
21:32So no ouching her, okay?
21:34Or, or I will put sand on you and make you dirty.
21:39Got it?
21:41Looks like Krish has really made the Rakhi connection.
21:45Happy Rakhi everyone.
21:48Children, up next is the festival of Tej.
21:52Kids, Tej is the festival which celebrates the arrival of monsoon.
21:58Monsoon is the rainy season.
22:02On this day, females apply henna on their hands,
22:07enjoy taking swings and have fun by singing and dancing.
