Answer 1

Many of our cultural practices and patterns can be traced to our agrarian backgrounds. You will recall from the earlier chapters how closely interrelated structural and cultural changes are. Most of the New Year festivals are in different regions of India - such as Pongal in Tamil Nadu, Bihu in Assam, Baisakhi in Punjab and Ugadi in Karnataka to name a few festivals.

For example,

1. Celebrating the main harvest season
2. Herald the beginning of a new agricultural season.
