Festivals
The Indian calendar is one long
procession of festivals. These are as varied in origin
as they are large in number. There are innumerable
national, regional, local, religious, seasonal and
social festivities. This is not surprising considering
the fact that India is the land of gods, goddesses,
saints, gurus and prophets.
Festivals here are characterised by colour, gaiety,
enthusiasm, feasts and a variety of prayers and rituals.
Travelers are struck by the scale and multiplicity of
the festivities that populate the cultural scene of this
land.
