An integral part of Indian culture, Indian festivals are
innumerable in number and are equally varied in origin marking the
national, regional, local, religious, seasonal and social fervour. The
Indian calendar is one long procession of festivals dedicated to various
deities, saints, prophets and also seasons, with every day of the year
being observed as a festival, in some part of the country. Each festival
is unique in style and is characterised by colour, gaiety, enthusiasm,
feasts and heterogeneity of prayers and rituals. Many of these festivals
are common to most parts of India, though called by different names and
celebrated differently, in the various parts of the country.
