In this episode of That Punjabi Couple podcast, Tania and Manpreet dive into the popular festivals trending this time of year—from Karva Chauth to Diwali—and how they relate to Sikh culture and identity.

We discuss:

- Why Karva Chauth doesn't align with Sikh values (and why fasting is against Sikhi)

- The real history behind Diwali vs. Bandi Chhor Divas

- How social media influences festival celebrations today

- Why knowing the "why" behind traditions matters

- Celebrating other cultures while staying true to your own values

This conversation isn't about judging others—it's about understanding our own history, questioning meaningless rituals, and raising our kids with awareness about what we celebrate and why.

Whether you're Sikh, Hindu, or just curious about South Asian festivals, this episode encourages thoughtful reflection on tradition, culture, and the stories we pass down.

Real conversations about culture, identity, and modern Punjabi life.
