Thanksgiving In Asian Countries by CD Mohatta Thanksgiving in India Thanksgiving Day in India is celebrated in quite a few parts of India, because of the spread of western culture. It is a major festivity observed by Christians primarily in the state of Goa, which is India's smallest state in terms of area and the second smallest in terms of population. It is known for its fabled tropical beaches and world heritage architecture. The celebration date varies in different parts of Goa, but generally is celebrated on the 15th of August every year where it is popularly known as 'Ladin' or Ladainha'. 'Ladin' literally means a litany to the Virging Mary. During the Thanksgiving ritual, people thank God for all the material and spiritual benefits they have. The function is sponsored by a different person every year that either has been lucky enough to have God's special grace or seeks benefits. Christians start preparing for Thanksgiving celebrations by purchasing wheat and gram, candles, wine and colored tinsel paper. A temporary platform/altar is constructed which is decorated with flowers, vines and creepers. Celebrations also include singing of hymns and prayers. The village local violinist/choirmaster conducts the entire show of singing of litany. It conveys the universal feeling of being thankful to Lord Almighty for his continuous grace. Another celebration associated with the feeling of Thanksgiving, is the popular religious feast of conception of Mother Mary. It is a time for farmers to cut the first harvest of milk-filed corn from the rice field and offer it to God. This is done to seek God's blessing for a good harvest in the coming season.
