Peeni Village: There are many traditions in the world.. about which there are many kinds of discussions and criticisms. In some places, many customs made for women or men in normal life are still prevalent. Similarly, there is a village in India where women and men have a strange tradition.
In Peeni village of Manikaran valley of Himachal Pradesh, women still follow the centuries-old tradition of not wearing clothes. Also, there is a strict tradition for men in this village. They must follow it. According to the tradition, women do not wear any clothes for 5 days in a year. Also, men cannot drink alcohol.
This tradition in Peeni village has an interesting history. But now most women do not step out of their houses during these 5 days. Some women still follow this tradition on their own.
Every year the women of Peeni village do not wear clothes for 5 days in the month of Shravan. It is believed that if women do not follow this tradition, then bad news is heard in a few days.. and on those days the husbands and wives of the entire village cannot talk to each other..
Men's Tradition: It is considered very important for men to follow this tradition. The rules of this tradition are slightly different for men. Men cannot consume alcohol and meat during the five days of Shravan. It is believed that if this is not followed then the God will get angry and create some trouble.
Mystery behind the tradition: There is an interesting story behind following this tradition. Some time ago ghosts used to roam in Peeni village. The demon was tearing the clothes of the women of the village. Goddess 'Lahua Ghond' came to the village to protect the villagers. This goddess killed the demons and protected the people. This incident happened on the first day of Chaitra month.
Since then, this tradition has been going on that women should not wear clothes for 5 days in the month of Shravan. It is believed that if they look beautiful in clothes, then some demon will take them away. That is why this tradition was created.
During these five days of Shravan month, husband and wife cannot smile at each other. During this time, women are allowed to wear only one dress. Women of Peeni village who follow this tradition can wear clothes made of wool. Meanwhile, the people of Peeni village do not allow outsiders to enter the village. Also, outsiders cannot be a part of their special feast.
