FESTIVALS OF INDIA

India is home to nearly 1.5 billion people, so it shouldn’t be surprising to discover that it is one of the most culturally diverse countries on the planet. With so many different cultures, there are also many ethnicities, religions, languages, traditions, cuisines, and celebrations that are a part of India's diversity.

​

There is a rich history of varied cultural traditions, religious festivals, food, clothing, languages, and customs and practices.  Growing up in a secular India, we celebrated everything, no matter what our religious belief, or our georgraphical location.  As in many other countries of the world, food and new clothes somehow push their way center stage.  

​

At JWN, we are excited to show our travelers two of the biggest festivals of the country, Holi and Diwali. In a single sentence, Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is a beautiful Hindu festival celebrated with lamps, fireworks, and traditional sweets to symbolize the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.

​

Also in a single sentence, Holi is a vibrant Hindu festival known as the "Festival of Colors," celebrated with the throwing of colored powders and water to mark the arrival of spring and the victory of good over evil.
