I find it difficult to accept the argument that money spent on festivities can be given to charity. This argument can be extended to any of our activities - eating out in restaurants, going on holidays or such luxuries.

A better approach may to be to spend equivalent amount on veda parayanam, sponsoring prasadams in temples for distribution or donation to other noble causes.

Easier said than done. Everybody has a budget for such functions. Usually it gets stretched beyond limits due to various factors. If so where is the extra money to spend on other charitable functions---especially equal amount?
