Indian Gas Agency Owner Visits Ajgara Homes, Keeps Eight-Year Diwali Tradition Alive

Eight-year Diwali tradition in Ajgara brings happiness to homes across the village

Pratapgarh: Diwali is not only a festival of lighting lamps and distributing sweets. It is also a time to meet loved ones and add warmth to relationships. An example of this spirit has been visible in the Ajgara Gram Sabha of Pratapgarh, where the proprietor of Indian Gas Agency has been visiting homes and sharing Diwali happiness for the past eight years.

On the occasion of Diwali, he visited around 12 purwas of the Ajgara Gram Sabha. He went from house to house in Deva, Amlaha, Tulsi, Kataria, Ajgara, Chutka and Tiwari Purwa, among other places.

During these visits, he met brothers and sisters, parents and teachers. He touched the feet of elders to seek their blessings. He also joined people in their happiness and sorrow and shared the joy of Diwali with them.

This is not a one-year event. The tradition has been followed continuously for around eight years. Every year during Diwali, the proprietor of Indian Gas Agency distributes around 15 to 20 quintals of laddoos so that every family in the village can take part in the festival’s celebrations.

The proprietor of Indian Gas Agency said:

"जितना प्यार मुझे मेरे गांव के लोग देते हैं, यह उसी प्यार का उपहार है। मैं ईश्वर से यही प्रार्थना करता हूं कि यह प्यार हमेशा बना रहे। बड़े-बुजुर्गों के पैर छूकर प्रणाम करता हूं और छोटों को आशीर्वाद देता हूं। दीपावली पर आप सभी खुशी से त्योहार मनाएं। जब भी मेरी जरूरत होगी, मैं आपके साथ खड़ा मिलूंगा।"

Through this initiative, the proprietor has made visiting homes, meeting people and distributing laddoos a regular part of Diwali in Ajgara. The tradition reflects the social harmony, mutual affection and brotherhood shared in the Ajgara Gram Sabha.

The effort also highlights the role of personal relationships in the festival. In Ajgara, Diwali is being celebrated through meetings, respect for elders, blessings for younger people and the sharing of sweets with families across the area. The true light of Diwali, as this tradition shows, comes not only from lamps but also from the happiness shared with loved ones and the relationships that people continue to honour.
