The culture of India is fittingly reflected through its
plentiful festivals and fairs. Highlighting the true spirit of the Indian
people and their society, the Indian festivals find their pedigree in the
traditions, religious beliefs, myths and the seasons of the country. The fairs
and festivals either celebrate the change of seasons or are of a religious
nature.
For instance, Mewar Festival and Holi are celebrated to mark
the coming of the spring season. Teej of Rajasthan marks the arrival of the
monsoon. On the other hand, Onam in Kerala and Bihu in Assam are celebrated to
mark the harvesting season. Other festivals, like the konark Dance Festival,
endorse the culture of India. Indian Festivals celebrated by wide-ranging
cultures and through their extraordinary rituals add to the colours of Indian
Heritage.
Some festivals greet
the seasons of the year, the yield, the rains, or the full moon. Others
celebrate religious juncture, the birthdays of celestial beings, saints, and
gurus (respected teachers), or the advent of the New Year.
Countless these
festivals are common to most parts of India, however they are celebrated in
their own way in different parts of the country. There are a number of fairs
and festivals in the country depicting rich culture, custom and tradition of
the country. Every year several festivals and fairs are celebrated in India.
