India is one of the largest countries of the world that has multicultural and multi religious societies. There are so many festivals of the different communities and cultures in India that the country can be referred to as a land of festivities. The country has three national holidays which include the Independence Day, Gandhi Jayanti and the Republic Day. But apart from these three main holidays there is a vast list of other holidays due to the festivals. Many of these holidays are restricted to the states as they are more of a regional celebration like the Bengali New Year in West Bengal and the Ganesh Chaturthi in Maharashtra. But apart from these holidays there are some which the nation celebrates together like Deepawali and Holi. Apart from the main lists of common holidays there are the birthdays and the death anniversaries of saints and leaders of the freedom fighters of India that are again celebrated more in some states.
Even the advent of the New Year is celebrated by the different communities at different times of the year except the calendar new year which will be the 1st of January. There are festivals to celebrate some of the smallest events or happenings like the harvest season is celebrated in the northern states of the country. But even in this diversity of festivities and celebrations the people of India have the common rituals of praying to their God; seek blessings from the elders, exchanging gifts and goodwill, dressing up in new clothes and other similar aspects. Feasting and dancing is a common part of all the communities in India. The different styles of celebrations are also reflected by the vast difference in the geographical borders of the country. For example, in the greener states of eastern India the traditional color worn by women are generally white with red borders. The ensembles and the accessories are also lighter because there is so much color and greenery around them already. But the dry and western zones of the country, especially the desert areas, witness the traditional people getting dressed in vibrant hues and jewelry to counteract the heat, the aridness of the desert and the lack of greenery. The different celebrations are also thus affected by the geographical borders of the country. But the nation proudly guards all the religions and communities that continue to reside in this incredible country.
