QUOTE
For hundreds of years, people have refrained from celebrating Diwali. On the day of Diwali, if a family even by mistake bursts crackers and makes dishes at home, disaster is sure to strike.
Veena. in Summo village, about 25 km from Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh. (Legend has it that a woman had left for her parents’ home to celebrate Diwali. She then got the news that her husband, a soldier in the king's court, died. The woman, who was pregnant, burnt herself on her husband’s pyre and cursed the villagers that they would never be able to celebrate Diwali.)
