Festivals
of South India
The Indian calendar is one long
procession of festivals dedicated to various deities, saints, prophets and
also seasons, with every day of the year being observed as a festival, in
some part of the country. Each festival is unique in style and is
characterised by colour, gaiety, enthusiasm, feasts and heterogeneity of
prayers and rituals. Many of these festivals are common to most
parts of India, though called by different names and celebrated differently,
in the various parts of the country.
