Festivals are meant to bring people together—whether it’s the glow of Diwali diyas, the vibrant colors of Holi, or the soulful celebrations of Durga Puja. Traditionally, these moments were about family, food, rituals, and heartfelt joy.
But today, another layer has been added: the Instagram effect. From perfectly framed rangoli shots to stylish festive outfits, it often feels like festivals are incomplete without a post or reel. While sharing these vibrant glimpses online helps showcase our culture and connect with others, it also makes us wonder—are we celebrating festivals for ourselves, or just for social media?
The truth probably lies in balance. Instagram can amplify the beauty of celebrations, but the essence of any festival still lives in laughter shared with loved ones, delicious food enjoyed without rushing for photos, and traditions that go beyond trends. Likes and hashtags may fade, but real memories remain timeless.
This festive season, capture your moments if you want—but don’t forget to live them too.
