India is
a country of subcontinental dimensions. It is an ancient
civilisation and an inheritor to a rich and diverse
cultural tradition. The Fairs and Festivals celebrated
across the length and breadth of the land present a
fascinating pageant and showcase the resplendence of
its arts and crafts tradition. Some festivals are of
religious nature, others are linked with the lives of
the people, change of seasons and harvesting. There
are fairs which in past played an important role in
the commercial life of the people and continue to be
celebrated with great gusto.
An integral part of Indian culture are innumerable Fairs
& Festivals 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, and
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.
