Germany ka Karneval: Rangon, Masti aur Parades ka Anokha Tyohar
Germany ka naam sunte hi aksar logon ke dhen mein discipline aur gambhir chehre aate hain, lekin saal mein ek waqt aisa aata hai jab pura mulk ek alag hi rang mein ranga hota hai. Is waqt ko kehte hain Karneval. Agar aapne kabhi socha hai ki Germany mein sabse zyada masti kab hoti hai, to wo February ke aakhir mein hone wala yahi tyohar hai.
Cologne (Köln) ho, Düsseldorf ho ya Mainz—in shehron ki sadkon par jab lakhon log ajeeb-o-garib costumes pehen kar nikalte hain, to nazara dekhne layak hota hai. Aaiye, is mazedaar tyohar ke baare mein vistar se jaante hain.
Karneval Kya Hai? (The "Fifth Season")
Germany mein Karneval ko sirf ek tyohar nahi, balki "Paanchwan Mausam" (The Fifth Season) kaha jata hai. Iska aghaz waise to 11 November ko subah 11 baje hi ho jata hai, lekin asli raunak aur dhoom-dham February ke aakhir mein shuru hoti hai.
Ye waqt hota hai khul kar jeene ka, hasne-hasane ka aur purani reet-riwazon ko todne ka. Log apne rozmarra ke kaam chhod kar bas masti mein doob jate hain.
Kahan Sabse Zyada Raunak Hoti Hai?
Waise to pure Germany mein Karneval manaya jata hai, lekin teen shehar aise hain jahan ki dhoom duniya bhar mein mashhoor hai:
- Cologne (Köln): Yahan ka Karneval sabse bada aur purana hai. Kehte hain agar aapne Cologne ka Karneval nahi dekha, to aapne Germany ki asli masti nahi dekhi.
- Düsseldorf: Yahan ki parades thodi siyasi (political) aur mazaqiya hoti hain.
- Mainz: Ye shehar apne traditional aur purane tarike se Karneval manane ke liye jana jata hai.
Costumes aur Taiyariyan
Karneval ki sabse khaas baat hai iske Costumes. Yahan koi pabandi nahi hoti! Aap jo chahein ban sakte hain. Kuch log joker bante hain, kuch superheros, aur kuch log to itne ajeeb kapde pehente hain ki unhe pehchanna mushkil ho jata hai.
- Sundar Masks: Log hath se bane huye khoobsurat masks pehente hain.
- Ajeeb Makeup: Chehron par rang-birange designs banaye jate hain.
- Group Themes: Aksar poore parivaar ya doston ka group ek jaisi costume pehenta hai.
Karneval ke Khaas Din
Karneval kai dino tak chalta hai, lekin kuch din aise hain jinhe miss nahi kiya ja sakta:
1. Weiberfastnacht (Women’s Carnival)
Ye din aurton ke naam hota hai. Is din ek purani aur mazedaar tradition hai—aurtein mardun ki "tie" (necktie) kaat deti hain! Ye is baat ka prateek hai ki aaj ke din aurton ka raj hai.
2. Rosenmontag (Rose Monday)
Ye Karneval ka sabse bada aur khaas din hota hai. Is din bade-bade parades nikalte hain. In parades mein badi-badi jhankiyan (floats) hoti hain jinpar baithe log niche khadi bheed par "Kamelle" (candies aur sweets) fenkte hain. Bacche ho ya bade, sab "Alaaf" ya "Helau" chillate huye candies jama karte hain.
3. Aschermittwoch (Ash Wednesday)
Is din Karneval khatam ho jata hai. Log ek dusre ko alvida kehte hain aur wapas apni normal zindagi mein laut aate hain.
Khana aur Peena
Masti ke saath saath khane-peene ka bhi apna hi mazaa hai. Karneval ke dauran Germany mein "Berliner" ya "Krapfen" (ek tarah ka meetha donut jo jam se bhara hota hai) bahut pasand kiya jata hai. Log sath milkar beer peete hain aur local pakwanon ka lutf uthate hain.
Aapko Karneval Kyun Dekhna Chahiye?
Agar aapko bheed-bhaad, sangeet, aur rang pasand hain, to Karneval aapke liye jannat hai. Ye ek aisa mauka hai jahan koi ameer-gareeb nahi hota, sab barabar hote hain aur sabka maksad sirf ek hota hai—Khushi.
