Ganga snanam acha is also the same with Madras Brahmins and even the Thanjavur jilla Brahmins.
Was wondering whether South Indians really celebrate Deepavali or their celebration of Naraga-chaturdasi came to be called as Deepavali?
Again it in Tamil Nadu, Deepavail is a festival of fireworks and not a festival of lights in Tamilnadu. Karthigai Deepam is the actual festival of lights.
