These Festivals are living forms of our cultural heritage as well as the symbols of unity in diversity. On these occasions, we bath in holy rivers and undertake charity related and other cultural activities. These festivals, celebrated in different manifestations across the country, forge social amity, unity and brotherhood.

These agricultural festivals also promote environment conservation. We also recognise the hard work of our farmers by celebrating these festivals.
