Beer Lovers Out There... Oktoberfest Rolls In Ludhiana To Ignite Your Souls..
The autumn-winter transition indeed is the best time since not only it’s time to flaunt and break out the new wardrobe-sweaters, overcoats, boots etc. but more importantly the summer sweaty days are over and north India especially Punjab finally has some pleasant days.
Fall means blowout of carnivals and fairs. While carnivals like Tomorrowland, Sunburn have gained quite a lot hype in the heart of Ludhianvis, but I have got something which is of best interests at your heart-Oktoberfest- The Beer Festival.
Beer festival?? What is it?? And Who started it ?? Where are its roots?? Hahaha… too many questions.. Even I had…
Oktoberfest- The famous Bavarian Munich Celebration
Had heard about Tomatina (famous Spain tomato festival) but not Oktoberfest. Allow me to introduce you to this fest.
The Oktoberfest dates back to 1810, wherein Prince Ludwig, later to become King Ludwig I, was married to Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen on 12 October 1810. The Big Fat German wedding invited citizens of Munich to attend the festivities held on the fields in front of the city gates to celebrate the happy royal event.
How it evolved as a legendary fest
The Grand wedding ended with festivities like the horse race, agricultural shows, merry go rounds and various other amusements. Soon the horse races were replaced by beer stalls and so the affection for this fest increased with time as an authentic beer was served in Oktoberfest.
Germans are known to for their drinking etiquette quite similar to what they are famously known for i.e. the car efficiency. Whatever the field is Germans know how to nail everything and graciously naming it to them.
They work hard and party harder and that bug has engulfed the Indian continent and now the Punjab. Ludhiana being the most versatile and dynamic city keeps evolving both in culture nationally and internationally.
