As the UAE marked Al Isra Wal Miraj on Saturday, the national holiday offered a chance for Indian communities to mark their own festivals.
On Saturday and Sunday, Indian expats from Punjab, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Odisha either celebrate New Year (NY) or harvest festivals.
Leading the celebrations in Abu Dhabi, Indian Ambassador to the UAE Navdeep Singh Suri marked the harvest festival of Baisakhi or Pahela Baishakh.
The celebrations held at Suri's residence brought out the vibrant colours, traditional music and dances and rich culture of the north Indian state of Punjab. Emirati officials, community leaders and envoys of several countries joined Suri.
"The festival marks the commencement of the harvest season and is an occasion to thank farmers and nature for an abundant harvest." He noted that there were many important festivals held across India.
Kerala's Malayalam New Year of Vishu, Tamil Nadu's Puthandu, Bengali New Year of Pahela Baishakh, Odisha's Pana Sankranti and Assamese New Year of Rongali Bihu are also celebrated on April 14 and 15.
"I invite everyone to visit India during these festivals and imbibe some of its rich cultural traditions," the ambassador added.
Malayalee families in the UAE welcomed Vishu on Saturday, or the Hindu New Year, a day ahead of the actual festival on Sunday. Families witnessed 'kani' or the first auspicious sight at 4am, and after morning prayers had traditional Kerala 'sadya', three-course Kerala lunch served on a banana leaf. Groups of families got together and took advantage of the public holiday on the occasion of Isra Wal Miraaj.
