Fairs Festivals in India The
sub-continent of Indian is one long pageant of colorful fairs and festivals.
As the days peel off the lunar calendar, the people of this country who come
from widely different racial stocks and profess widely different faiths
happily go about celebrating events that live in the collective memory. And
that sure makes for an impressive list of fairs and festivals, which are
more than the number of days in a year! Here are some of the major Indian
fairs and festivals that are extravaganzas in themselves and attract
tourists from all over the world every year.The major festivals that are celebrated in India includes Diwali, the festivals of lights and fire crackers; Holi, the festival of colors; Christmas; Eid-Ul-Fitr; Pongal, the harvest festival; Baisakhi; and the national holidays of the Independence Day and Republic Day etc, that are celebrated with great enthusiasm and fervor in India. Apart from all these - the Kumbh Mela has exerted a mesmeric influence over the mind and the imagination of the ordinary Indian since time immemorial. It is when millions of devout congregate on the banks of the holy river Ganges, for a dip in the sacred waters that is believed to bring spiritual salvation and contentment.  The
famous Goa Carnival is an event that should not be missed. It is an
energetic, no holds barred spring festival that is celebrated with great
enthusiasm and revelry throughout the state of Goa before Ash Wednesday, the
beginning of Lent which is a 40 day period of penance and abstinence
preceding Easter Sunday. Than five day long popular and charismatic Pushkar
Fair of Rajasthan has more than one lakh visitors every year! It is a period
of relaxation and merry-making for the villagers, and corresponds with the
