西方国度的节日促销季已经到来,而在印度,也即将迎来一年之中最主要的节日——排灯节。
排灯节(Diwali, Deepawali),又称为万灯节、印度灯节,也称光亮节,或者屠妖节,是印度最盛大的节日,每年10月中旬至11月中旬庆贺,今年刚好是11.7。
排灯节的字面意思是一排排点亮的灯,可以想象强烈的画面感,万家灯火点亮印度的夜晚。Diwali是耆那教、印度教与锡克教庆贺“以光亮驱走黑暗,以仁慈克服邪恶”的节日。也被看作“心坎之光”的庆典,一些佛教信徒也会庆贺这个节日。
这个节日不止在印度当地非常受欢迎,就连在斐济、圭亚那、马来西亚(沙捞越除外)、毛里求斯、缅甸、尼泊尔、新加坡、斯里兰卡、苏里南、特立尼达等处所都被官方设为法定节日。
印度排灯节连续5天,通常在排灯节前夜,家家户户会把房间扫除得干清洁净并进行粉刷。从里到外,相似国内春节和国外圣诞节的前夕大清除。通过这样一个典礼,除旧迎新,也是为了表现对神祗们的尊重。
第二天,印度女孩都会在家门口精致地手绘制各式兰戈里(印度民间艺术),家家户户的兰戈里争艳斗丽只为吸引荣幸女神Lakshmi上门,为来年带来财运。兰戈里的图案创意无穷,表达人们心中对来年的美妙祈愿。
排灯节的第三天是正日子,也是庆贺运动最盛大的一天。人们恭迎天神Lakshmi,女士们会穿上印度传统裙装sari,男士们则穿上kurthas。百姓穿上新衣、商人换新帐本,象征新生涯的开端。还有一项主要典礼是祈求财富之神 Lakshmi的护佑,虽然排灯节期间印度的公司都放假了,但这一天股市会有一小时的特殊交易,以作为呈献给Lakshmi的礼物。
排灯节的第四天是全家聚在一起共享天伦的日子;而节日的最后一天,是属于姐妹的日子,兄弟们会带着礼物到姐妹家中访问。
在排灯节期间,你的印度客户可能会“失踪”,他们当然是过节去啦。
节日就离不开购物,据 RedSeer 数据,预计今年排灯节期间当地电商交易额将到达 25 亿 -30 亿美元。2017 年排灯节期间(9 月 20-9 月 24 日),在线零售商的出售额到达 15 亿美元,比 2016 年的 10.5 亿美元增加了 40% 以上,是 2015 年的 7.2 亿美元的两倍多。
