Importance of Festivals
India is well-known for its diverse culture and festivals. Here, each victory, achievement has its day, each day has its significance. Here, everyone celebrates everyone’s festival, indifferent to their religion.
A festival is, in general, a group of people/community celebrating 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 everyone’s life.
My favorite festival is Navratri. I love to cherish the joyous moments of this festival. It involves a dance form known as Garbs Ras, people play dandiya, on holy songs, and it’s a festival full of amusement and a jolly state of mind.
I hope this answer helps!

For us as Indians, festivals are a major part of our lives. For us festival means joy, happiness, food, worship, new clothes, celebration, and many more happening things. All the religions of our country have certain festivals which are also celebrated by the whole country. A muslim can be seen firing crackers on Diwali and playing with colour on Holi. A Hindu can be seen celebrating Eid and going to each other’s houses on Eid. A Punjabi can be seen celebrating Christmas, and a Christian can be seen going to Gurudwara for Lohri. India is known as the country of festivals. All the festivals have their own story behind them with actually happened in the past. Like in Hindu culture, we have Dussehra, which is of 10 days. It is associated with the victory of lord rama over the demon Ravan and how he saved Sita Mata from him. We have Diwali, which is celebrated because on that very day, lord rama, along with brother Lakshmana and wife Sita, came back to their homeland after the exile of 14 years. In muslim culture, Eid al-Adha is celebrated to recall the story of how God commanded Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismail as a test of faith. … Eid al-Fitr is celebrated on the first day of the 10th month in the Islamic calendar. Eid al-Adha is celebrated on the 10th day of the final month in the Islamic calendar. There is a festival called Eid al-Fitr celebrated after a month of prayer, devotion, and self-control. Muslims celebrate the accomplishment of their sacred duties during Ramadan with the beginning of Eid-al- Fitr or the festival of Breaking the Fast. The festival is a national holiday in many countries with large Muslim populations. The most famous festival of Christians, ie, Christmas, is celebrated to remember lord jesus, who is believed to be the son of god. In Punjabi culture, people celebrate Guru Nanak Jayanti, also called Gurpurab, to remember their first sikh guru, Guru Nanak Dev Ji.
