According to http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ Young British Muslims are being urged to mark the holy month of Muharram by giving blood in Manchester. Muharram is the first month of the Islamic calendar. It is one of the four sacred months of the year in which fighting is prohibited. Since the Islamic calendar is lunar, Muharram moves from year to year when compared with the Gregorian calendar.<br />
Muharram is so called because it is unlawful to fight during this month; the word is derived from the word haram, meaning &#8220;forbidden&#8221;. It is held to be the most sacred of all the months, excluding Ramadan. Some Muslims fast during these days. The tenth day of Muharram is called Yaumu-l &#8216;Ashurah, which is known by Shia Muslims as &#8216;the day of grief&#8217;.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.indianpublicholidays.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Nagula-Chavithi-2010-Nag-Chaturthi-pooja.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2110" title="Nagula Chavithi 2010, Nag Chaturthi pooja" src="http://www.indianpublicholidays.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Nagula-Chavithi-2010-Nag-Chaturthi-pooja.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="240" /></a>Nagula Chavithi is observed on the fourth day (Chaturthi) after Deepavali Amavasya during Karthika masam. Nag Chavithi, a festival to worship Nag Devatas (Serpent Gods), is mainly a women festival. Naag Chavithi is observed by married women for their wellbeing of their children. During the Chavithi festival, women keep fast and observe Naga Puja. Devotees offer milk and dry fruits to Sarpa Devata at the Valmeekam or Putta (snake pits). On Nagula Chawithi day, Ashtanag (seven hooded cobra) is worshipped. NagulaChavithi in Kartika masam is a major festival in Andhra Pradesh and some parts of Karnataka. The rituals and puja procedures are different from place to place. Some people place Naga devatha idol at home and perform puja. But in some places, devotees go to &#8216;Putta&#8217; (Snake pit) and offer naivedyam and perform other pujas there.</p>
<blockquote><p><em><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Nag Chaturthi pooja</span></strong></em></p></blockquote>
<p>On Nagula Chavithi day is noted for the notorious practice of offering milk and eggs to the snakes, especially cobras near snake pits. Snake charmers also bring cobras to villages and towns which are fed with milk by devotees. Such practices should not be encouraged as it leads to the death of snakes. Snakes don’t drink milk but the practice has been encouraged by popular beliefs. Worship of Nagas is a constant reminder to humans to live in harmony with Nature. And the ideal way to worship Nagas is by protecting the forests and grooves that are home of snakes and other animals.</p>

The word Dhanteras, Dhan stands for wealth. On Danteras, the &#8220;Owl&#8221; form of the Goddess Laxmi is worshiped to provide prosperity and well being. Dhanteras holds special significance for the business community due to customary purchases of precious metals on this day (see below).</p>
<p>On Dhanteras Hindus consider it auspicious to purchase gold or silver articles or at least one or two new utensils. It is believed that new “Dhan” or some form of precious metal is a sign of good luck. &#8220;Laxmi-Puja&#8221; is performed in the evenings when tiny Diyas of clay are lit to drive away the shadows of evil spirits. &#8220;Bhajans&#8221;-devotional songs- in praise of Goddess Laxmi are also sung.</p>
