Fascinating.

Growing up in a Hindu household, a lot of our festivals involve listening to origin stories of the customs. A lot of those have of course been glorified to add an element of holiness, but it's possible they are actually derived from some small incident happened in the past.

Like a butterfly effect, a small insignificant event leading to a major celebration for billion people continued over centuries
