Solution

Festivals of India

By Karuna



The heterogeneous nature of India is perfectly exemplified in the form of its festivals. India is a land of diverse culture and religion. It is the only country that willfully withstands the slogan 'Unity in Diversity'. There is a catalogue of festivals that are celebrated wholeheartedly by the Indian population. Ranging from Diwali, Holi, Ganesh Chaturthi till Eid and Christmas, the people of India relish a diverse array of festivals. 

The varied festivals, not only reveal the religious diversity but also the cultural amalgamation, existing in the country. The festivals such as Ganesh Chaturthi, Pongal and Onam are celebrated in some parts of India and yet they are considered major festivals of the country. The best part about the festivals in India is that they are based on a variety of factors such as change of season, harvest, movement of the moon and the uniqueness lies in their propagation of same virtues, that of tolerance, sacrifice and victory. 

The diverse nature of India makes it a melting point of culture and festivity. To rejoice the festivals of multiple religions and cultures is a joy to be celebrated.
