| India is a land of festivals and fairs. Every day of the year there is a festival celebrated in some part of the country. Some festivals welcome the seasons of the year, the harvest, the rains, or the full moon. Others celebrate religious occasions, the birthdays of divine beings, saints, and gurus (revered teachers), or the advent of the new year. A number of these festivals are common to most parts of India. However, they may be called by different names in various parts of the country or may be celebrated in a different fashion | ||||

| Navratri is divided into sets of three days to adore three different aspects of the
supreme goddess or goddesses. First three days : The goddess is invoked as a spiritual force called Durga in order to destroy all our impurities, vices and defects. Second three days : The Mother is adored as a giver of spiritual wealth, Lakshmi, who is considered to have the power of bestowing on her devotees inexhaustible wealth. Final three days : The final set of three days is spent in worshipping as the goddess of wisdom, Saraswati. In order to have all-round success in life, believers seek the blessings of all three aspects of the divine femininity, hence the nine nights of worship.

EID UL FITR |

| Time of the year : The ninth month of the Muslim year THE FESTIVAL Eid Ul Fitar or the festival of fast breaking is the biggest Muslim festival. Eid is derived from the Arabic word 'oud' or 'the return' to signify, well, the return of Eid each year. The festival is significant as much for its timing as for its religious implications. It is celebrated after the fasting month of Ramzan (the ninth month of the Muslim |
 |
|||
| year), on the first day of the Shavval month of the Hijri year (Muslim year). It is believed that the
Koran was revealed to Prophet Mohammed in the month of Ramzan
