Merging Hindola Page with Jhulan Purnima
editHello!
I wanted to see what the general consensus is on merging the Hindola and Jhulan Purnima pages. They both refer to the same festival. Also, which page should be the destination page? Chilicave (talk) 21:29, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
- is there a reason that neither is mentioned on the other page? if they are just different names for the same festival, one would expect there to be crossover, or even something as simple as "x is also known as y" but it seems weird that neither page references the other name. are they langauge/region specific terms?

- Hi @Evansknight! That's a good question.
- According to this source, Hindola and Jhulan Purinima/Yatra are used interchangeably to describe the "swinging festival" in India. To answer your question about whether the terms are different by region, the source also indicates that it is held in "different parts of India, at different times." Here is an example:
- - A snippet from this article by Madhya Pradesh District Gazetteers (a state in central India) refers to the festival as "Hindola"
- - Whereas, this excerpt from the Calcutta Review in Calcutta (a city in the state of West Bengal, eastern India) addresses the festival as "Jhulana - Yatra."
- 2. The name of this festival also varies according to specific Hindu Vaishnava sects. According to this source, followers of the ISKCON Vaishnaiva sect repeatedly use the term "Jhulan Yatra" to address the swing festival.
- Whereas, according to this article , followers of the Pushti Marg Vaishnava sect term the festival as Hindola.
- 3. Finally, each of these articles (1, 2, 3) mention that the Hindola/Jhulana Purnima occurs around the same time - which is in the month of Shraavana (July-August). Chilicave (talk) 18:17, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
