TRADITIONS
Even though being a small community and exposed to modernity since the birth of Bombay, people from the SKP community celebrate their festivals so as to pass down their traditions to the next generation. Exceptions to certain celebration like the high caste Hindu sacred thread ceremony "Munja Ceremony", which was abolished in the early 20th centuries by the leaders of the society, because as such it is unnecessary expense and was not relevant in this day and age. So a lot of educated families at that time stopped the tradition of "Munja Ceremony". Also, widow remarriage was accepted. The SKP community always had a rich and special way of celebrating ceremonies and festivals. Their cuisine tells one how they are connoisseurs of good food. Here in this section we have tried to show how we celebrate our festivals and preserve our culture. Click on any submenu item above.
