All Hindu festivals
have a deep spiritual import or high religious significance. All great
Hindu festivals have religious, social and hygienic elements in them. In
every festival there is bathing in the morning before sunrise. Every
individual chants a prayer, sings devotional songs - Kirtan and recites
Sanskrit verses and meditation.
Indian Festivals
are much more than celebrations. They are windows into the history of rich
Hindu legends. They reveal the mind and philosophy of a nation through the
different ages. Festivals have a cultural and social aspect which many
feel transcends even their spiritual significance.
