Festivals of India
Indian Festivals,
celebrated by varied cultures and through their special rituals, add to the
colours of the Indian Heritage. Some festivals welcome the seasons of the year,
the harvest, the rains, or the full moon. Others celebrate religious occasions,

advent of the New Year. A number of these festivals are common to most parts of
