India presents a cultural
potpourri of number of religions with their own festivals and
celebrations but the four major religions followed in India are
Hinduism, Islam, Christianity and Sikhism in the descending order.
There are a number of regional festivals which are celebrated in
particular areas only. Bright colors, brightly lit religious places,
illuminated houses, sweets and traditional dresses and dances and
unwavering enthusiasm are the characteristics of all the festival
holidays in India. Cuisine, dresses and ornaments, especially of the
Indian women, with the profusion of golden, red and yellow colors,
cultural and traditional performances and music, chariot and car
procession of the deities and interesting folklores give the Indian
festivals their universal appeal. The concept of universal
brotherhood encompasses all the festivals of India and the vibrant
colors, warm hospitality and infectious buoyant spirit of the
Indians attract people from all over the world to take part in the
Indian fairs and festivals. |
