Festivals
of India
India
is a land of diversities. The people of
every faith and religion live in unity
and as well as celebrate various
festivals in the country. In no other
country of the world are people so
frequently motivated by a religious urge
to travel as in India. Fortunately for
the Hindus, most of their places of
pilgrimage are at scenic places in the
Himalayas or near the sea or rivers.
There is perhaps not a single day in the
Indian calendar when a festival or fair
is not celebrated in such a vast country
with varied religions. Fairs and
Festivals hold an important place in the
social life of the people and reflect
the vigour and life style of the people
of India. There are festivals for all
occasions which include colour
festivals, festivals to celebrate change
of seasons, festivals connected with the
harvesting or sowing of crops or any
other religious occasion. Some national
festivals which are celebrated all over
India are Independence Day, Republic Day
and Gandhi Jayanti. On January 26,
Republic Day is celebrated with a
massive parade of the Army, Navy and the
Air Force displaying latest military
hardware. It reflects the pride, glory
and joy of the independent India.
Besides this, some other festivals which
are celebrated in some or the other part
of India are Makar Sankranti, Holi,
Raksha Bandhan, Janmashtami, Dussehra,
Diwali and Christmas.

Some
of the fairs and festivals which are
celebrated only in Rajasthan are Gangaur
Festival, Elephant Festival, Desert Festival,
Camel Festival, Marwar Festival, Teej
Festival, Mewar Festival, Pushkar Fair, etc.
Every happy occasion calls for a celebration
that is accompanied with dance and music and
feast. In some of the fairs and festivals the
elephant race, elephant polo, horse polo,
camel races, dance and music are specially
organised so as to encourage the tourists to
participate in these festivals. But, there are
various festivals are not celebrated by
everyone in the country. Besides these, there
are festivals associated with pilgrimages.
Hindu, Buddhist, Jain and Sikh pilgrim centers
are located almost in every corner of India
that attract millions of devotees and pilgrims
who travel from one part of the country to
another. For instance, the Kumbha Mela is
celebrated every 12 years at Haridwar or
Prayag (Allahabad) that attracts million of
people each time. While the dates of the
national festivals are known, other festivals
follow the lunar calendar and the dates change
almost every year. However, the dates do not
differ too much.
Some of the festivals which will be celebrated
in April are Gangaur Festival, Baisakhi,
Mahavir Jayanti, Pooram, Ram Navami, Buddha
Purnima, Mewar Festival, Good Friday, Easter
and Meenakshi Temple Feast.If you plan to
