India is well-known or its diverse culture and festivals. Here each victory, achievement has its own day, each day has its own significance. Here, everyone celebrates everyone’s festival indifferent to their religion.
Festival is in general, a group of people/community celebrate different occasions with elements of their community as well. From the time of harvest of the year, to the time of Christmas; each festival has its own significance in each and everyone’s life.
My favorite festival is Navratri. I love to cherish the joyous moments of this festival. It involves dance form known as Garbs Ras, people play dandiya, on holy songs and it’s a festival full of amusement and jolly state of mind.
I hope this answer helps!😊
