HINDU FESTIVALS

Hindu festivals are much more than celebrations. They are windows into the history of rich Hindu legends. They reveal the mind and philosophy of a nation through the different ages.  All Hindu festivals have a cultural significance and a very deep spiritual meaning behind them. They have a number of useful purposes also: they bring people together in friendship and love, and thus help to mend broken relations between people; the whole house is thoroughly cleansed and purified.

·       Religious festivals: Diwali, Shivaratri and Sharavani are religious festivals. On these occasions vows are made and fasting is observed. Prayers, Yajna and Puja are performed and reading of scriptures are conducted.

·       Historical festivals: Hindu history is intrinsically Indian history. Therefore, the birth and death anniversaries of great men and women of India are remembered and observed. Also, some great historical events are celebrated annually by Hindus around the world. Ramnavami (birth of Rama), Krishna Janmashtami (birth of Krishna), Vijayadashami, Diwali, GuruGovind Jayanti, Shivaji Jayanti, Gandhi Jayanti, Buddha Jayanti and Mahavir Jayanti are some of the historical festivals which are celebrated by Hindus.

·       Seasonal festivals: Hinduism has very close links with nature. Since early Hinduism thrived in the predominantly agricultural land of India, many of its festivals are associated with nature and farming activity. To enable people to enjoy the influence of natural changes, many festivals linked with nature were introduced. Among them Makar Sankranti or Pongol, Vasant Panchami, Sharad Purnima and Holi are famous.
