Fairs & Festivals

Different people who speaking different languages, wearing

different clothes and eat different food… also have different
way of celebration!

It depends on the culture, history and beliefs of the people…

As explained earlier… the Sanskriti and Prakriti of any culture

are passed on to the next generation… the fairs and
festivals are the best mode to achieve that.
People of vivid cultural backgrounds, celebrate and convey
different versions and stories from their cultural history in form
of festivals and fairs.

They all share the story of a new beginning, story of triumph

of Good over Bad, story of Sacrifice for greater good… be
it Holi, Onam, Hola Mohalla, Eid ul Fitar, or Christmas, etc.

This also helps to invoke unity and integrity among people of

society.

India is a land of diversification. Every state has its unique art,

culture and tradition.The one thing that is common for all
states is the celebration of individual culture and tradition.

Every festival has its own specific characteristics, rituals, saga,

and purpose.
Let us now look into the major festivals and fairs celebrated
throughout India…

Onam is an annual Hindu harvest festival celebrated in the
