You're not from India but you seem to know a lot about the culture. More than me anyway, so thank you for helping me out. Now I know the custom in Suriname too 😀
Our grandparents are from India and they brought a lot of the culture with them. The thing is that we are now more a mix, but some of the religious things that is lost in India is kept safe by us. The same with the Nigerians... things about culture you can't find in Nigeria the maroon still have it here
feeling great to know, people outside the india, aware of custom of India...
