Are they really important in life ?
If yes
Why so ?
How would be life without festivals?
If there is no festival in our life what will happen?
Why these festival has been brought into our lives and so on.,..
But ,after analysing for much time and I could understand they are really very important in our lives .
If there is no celebration then our life will be boring...no excitement.
Some of us may loose interest in routine life.
We may go into depression..yes you heard it right ..
So, our ancestors....very old ancestors I can say .... centuries ago ..came up with the concept of celebration of small small things in life ... giving them form of festivals.
If you observe carefully our calendar...you might come to know how we are kept engaged in them one after the other.
Navratri...Dussehra... Diwali .. Sankranti..Holi....and many others ..
There are different festivals.. different ways to celebrate them in different regions.
When I went for my AFCAT's Mysore SSB..in one of the activity..a kind of testing you was through extempo..then I got the topic of Importance of festivals...I really don't know what I would have spoke then on the same topic back then in 2016..
But as you age ...you understand the importance...deep concept...reasons behind the celebration of many things ..to which you considered a mere celebration earlier.
It was the practice to bring the family together...family get together..
Even though earlier people stayed in joint families...lived near by.
But ,in this era where each one of us are settled in different cities.. countries in search of better opportunities...for education.
These festivals brings loved ones together..for few days..but still they come closer and get a chance to take a break from our busier schedules.
Seriously,life would have been barren without these festivals.

True, festivals are fun. Every time there is a celebration, we get to dress up and meet friends.
ReplyDeleteOne day, I was thinking the same. It would really be a sad world if there was nothing tocelebrate. We must cherish what has come to us.
ReplyDeleteTrue, it would be a drab world without festivals. Festivals do add that dahs of vibrancy and bring communities together breaking the monotony of life, it is sad tough that they have become just outwardly displays of festivities closing their import and context in modern times.
ReplyDeleteWithout festivals how could we celebrate life, new cultures, their hypes, our values. I guess, festivals teach us how to decked up and meet friends, how to celebrate and wait for happiness , how family is important as at each festival we need our close friends and family to be there.
ReplyDeleteVery true. I also believe festivals are important in binding us. Since my childhood, festivals were important to me because of the celebrations, meeting family and friends, having good food. Less so about religion per se.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more! Festivals are indeed essential for bringing joy, excitement, and a sense of togetherness into our lives. They provide a much-needed break from our busy routines and offer an opportunity to reconnect with loved ones.
ReplyDeleteFestivals surely are important as they take us back to our roots and teach us the importance of our culture and religion. We are besses to be born in India, where we get to learn and celebrate so many different religions and festivals with harmony and love right from Eid to Diwali to Christmas to Nazroz.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more. In our busy lives, festivals give us a break and help us enjoy time with loved ones. Our ancestors started celebrating small things, and this tradition still keeps us connected and happy. I always make sure to celebrate all the festivals with children teaching Importance of everything.
ReplyDeleteI love festivals as they bring all types of people together. Although we live in Bangalore, we make sure that we go home every Duserrha as we reunite with our families n relatives. That's the only time in the year when we meet all our relatives. Also festivals are fun, we get to dress up and enjoy. The only negative thing is that the ladies of the house get veryyyy busy serving guests and keeping everyone happy.
ReplyDeletefestivals serve as reminders to pause, reflect, and appreciate the blessings in our lives. They offer a break from our busy schedules, allowing us to rejuvenate our spirits and find joy in the simple pleasures of celebration.
ReplyDeleteFestival brings happiness to our boring life. To wear new clothes, to have delicacy, to meet friends and family and to have celebration spark , everything just fabulous.
ReplyDeleteAgree with the POV. Festivals are there to help us celebrate the present phase of our life. Even if don't have occasions like marriage and ceremonies festivals are for everyone to rejoice life.
ReplyDeleteYou posed such an important question and I'm glad you've yourself analyzed and put forth why such celebrations are important. They not only give us a chance to pause and enjoy life but they're also reminders of our culture and traditions
ReplyDeleteIndeed, the world would lack luster without festivals. They inject vibrancy and foster community bonds, breaking life's monotony. However, it's disheartening that they've often become mere superficial displays of celebration, losing their deeper significance in modern times.
ReplyDeleteAgree, festivals are a bond that every individual wants to share especially family time with your loved ones.
ReplyDeletePeople usually joke that India has a lot of festivals but that is the charm of our county. It is also a great way to get together with family and friends or we would just be living in our own bubbles.
ReplyDeleteI love our festivals. They bring meaning and excitement in our mundane lives and are a great way to bond and feel special.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. Festivals are a great way to get together and celebrate and basically cheer up. It is also interesting to me to see people's attitude's and reactions to different festivals, it tells so much about who they are as people.
ReplyDeleteFestivals are much needed to bring us all.together. a great way to teach kids our culture and about our people
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine my life / family life without festivals. We prepare for Durga Puja before 6 months, and also look forward especially to Holi and Diwali, amongst others.
ReplyDeleteFestivals give such positive vibes that makes our life more and more exciting. I love dressing up and meeting family and friends. Great way to bond.
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine of my life without festivals. I am not a religious person who follows all the rituals to a T but festivals bring lot of joy and happiness in life...
ReplyDeleteTrue, festivals add color and joy to life, bringing families and communities together. Without them, life would feel dull and boring. They provide a much-needed break from our busy lives and create cherished memories with loved ones.
ReplyDeleteI think festivals are an important aspect of our culture and it gives a reason for all of us to be together. I too agree with you that life would be barren and boring without them
ReplyDeleteFestivals give us a great medium to socialise with friends and family, true
ReplyDeleteAs you said, Festivals and family gatherings are the best. In this busy life generation, it is hard to meet people often. Festivals are the only way that would get families together with all the laughter and love that we would share.
ReplyDeleteApart from family getting together and allowing us time to enjoy, festivals also have a deep spiritual significance. And it's the Hindus wo have the maximum number of them because of the number of gods we worship.
ReplyDeleteSocialisation for caring and sharing is essential for communities' peaceful and meaningful coexistence. And our thoughtful ancestors were mindful of this. However, I get sad when people replace this purpose with communal ideas.
ReplyDeleteFestivals are indeed important for all of us. They also mark the seasons!
