A festival is a symbol of joy and celebration. I believe it is a man-made activity, an activity which tends to unite people and celebrate life together. The country seems to be the best and bright on the day of any public festival. India stands in one of the top places for the count of festivals it celebrates. It might be because of its rich secularism and culture.

There are various festivals subject to DIFFERENT cultures, religions, etc., But there are a number of major festivals when the whole country unites to celebrate together. Pongal, Holi, Christmas, Ramzan are a few of the major festivals when every part of the country involves into some kind of celebration. For example, during Holi, non-Hindus might not involve in the traditional puja but would take part in sharing the joy by playing colours. Also, during Ramzan, non-Muslims might not involve in traditional fasting during the season but would take part in CONSUMING Haleem, one of the foods that are quite rich in proteins.

Above all, every major festival is a holiday and a golden chance to spend time and celebrate joy with family and friends. Spending time with kit and kin is one of the most important deeds in human life. Festivals are a great opportunity to celebrate LOVE and joy with your loved ones. EVEN though our loved ones happen to stay far away for some reasons, there is no way we would PASS the day of a festival without greeting each other.

Festivals also take a major role in remembering the deeds of great people. For example, freedom fighters always continue to live in our hearts and in the hearts of further generations by remembering them during celebrations like independence day, etc., They even remind us that today we are free for a reason. Festivals also play a major role in maintaining the feelings in people, about the divinity.

Rich or poor, small or big, rainy or sunny, at home or at school, everyone waits for a festive day and would celebrate the festivals in their own ways. Nevertheless, in  India, a festive day can often be expected. Yes, every citizen of India is joyous and proud of its rich culture which celebrates a quite number of festivals.
