1. Today is #Devthaan. Not many of the new generation remember this festival except for a vague murmur that the marriage season starts with this day. It is one of the most different of the festivals we celebrated, for Devthan had a very pristine feel. 
2. In my part of the country, this would be a really exciting festival. We would buy sugarcanes, (5 or 7) during the day. We would go for the best looking ones, the smoothest and the longest. As the night fell and shubha muhurta arrived, we will get on the terrace or the garden.
3. We would stand the sugarcanes by balancing them against each other. They would stand tall. On the ground under the sugarcanes, there would be an image of Chandra or the Moon drawn in a paste of rice or sometimes of other grains.
