My mother celebrate more or less all the festivals and same way i too like to do that and try to do at least half of what my mother do.
Any pooja or function or any special occasion means lots of sweets and prasadam.Prasadam is a  food which is prepared without anyone touched and tasted and offered to god.this special food is then distributed to people as prasadam as a mark of the end of the pooja and to give gods blessings to everybody in the form of prasadam.
