Holidays and festivals of India

Christmas (December 25): This holiday is celebrated Indian Christians who decorate their homes than the traditional spruce and banana or mango trees, hanging them on the small oil lamps. In honor of the people of India, congratulate each other, exchange gifts, give money to the poor, and in the churches held a solemn service.
"Maha Shivaratri" (January-February) in the pre-night people go to temples or on the main square, to glorify God Shiva with the help of sacred hymns. And the girls who have not yet married, never sleeps that night - they offer prayers to Shiva in the hope that it will send them good husbands. This festival is held in high esteem among the pilgrims - they spend an interesting ritual in the temple Tarakeshvar, located 57 km from Calcutta. There they pour a stone statue of Shiva Ganges water (they bring it with you) and decorate granite lingam garlands of flowers.
India Independence Day: August 15, in honor of a holiday in many towns and even villages raise the flag, and the local politicians are asked to give a speech that will remind all those present about how the hard way passed their country to become independent. In addition, in honor of governors arrange a festive reception.
Diwali (October-November): in honor of fire, symbolizing the victory of good over evil, in the streets of major cities and towns in the early evening light up thousands of lights. On the terraces, roofs, balconies of houses, trees and in the temples made oil lamps to light oil. In honor of the people lit sparklers and fireworks allowed in the sky.

Event tourism in India

In India, be sure to visit during the Holi (February-March). In this colorful and bright holiday bonfires, live entertainment, accompanied by dancing and singing. On this day passers sprinkle with colored powder and colored water pour (tack with a water pistol). According to tradition, abundant than you obmazhut paint, the more you get good wishes (going on a holiday, dressed in clothes that you do not mind).

Pilgrims will be interesting to visit the Kumbh Mela - the rite, the main aim of which bathe in the waters of the Ganges for purification of your karma.
