Importance of Festivals in Indian Culture

Good morning everyone. My name is Rashi Gurav. I am in 9th standard. I am going to talk briefly about the ‘Importance of Festivals’. India is the largest known secular country in the world. Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists, Zoroaster, and a number of other people who are different in religion, culture, traditions, and languages have inhabited this country. India is a country where every sunrise is a festival and every sunset brings a celebration. 

Festivals are the vibrant colours of life. Festivals bring happiness, cheer, hope, optimism, celebrations, lights, joy, cooperation, and many more pleasant things into our life. During Diwali, Christmas, Holi, Eid, Gurupurb, Passover, or any other festival the world appears to be a heaven. It appears as if the entire world is attending a wedding celebration. Children, adults, teenagers, elders, and middle-aged people all of them love festivals. 

However, some obligations and responsibilities of being a citizen come along with this celebration. responsibilities for preserving order and calm in the environment as well as cleanliness. Let's all promise that from now on, holidays and special occasions will be marked by days when we put our differences aside and embrace everyone with love, promote cleanliness, and savour the joy of eating sweets and laughing instead of crackers.

Thank you so much and have a great day!
