Across religions and faiths, people all over the world celebrate festivals. The festivals are linked to natural cycles and more often than not reflect the close interrelationship mankind has had with nature. Onset of each season is linked to festivities in different cultures. Apart from naturally cycles, festivals are also linked to important events and personalities from the history of human civilisation.

Festivals create wonderful opportunities for all of us to take time out from our day to day lives, be with family and connect with friends. These are joyous occasions and the celebrations reflect the traditions inherited from our forefathers. They are important manifestations of our faith and culture and give an opportunity for all of us to express our identity.
