All great Indian festivals have religious , social and seasonal elements to them. Celebrations are done with religious sanctity, making traditional food and celebration of the season.
Indian festivals are a good way to get-together for social functions.
To create an awareness of the heritage and culture that has been handed down to us for generations. These get togethers can enhance our mental and spiritual dimension that, if left in the dark, make us only poorer and less worthy of our heritage. So make it a point to get a few of your friends together to celebrate and remember the age old traditions of the past.
