Introduction
Dear Visitor,
I welcome you to this non-profit, educational page. Here you will read about different aspects of the history and culture of that part of our globe which is known variously as Bharatvarsha, Hindostan or India. My approach of looking at history is that of a rationalist and humanist. As my aim is to spread awareness about history and culture, you may freely download this page, print it, link it up from your site, or mirror it at any server. Enjoy the infotainment laid out for you at this site. I also look forward to your valuable suggestions and feedback. Happy viewing.

Festivals the world over are occasions of rejoicing celebration. All over the globe, every nation culture, religion have its own festivals.
Festivals the world over are occasions of rejoicing celebration. All over the globe, every nation culture, religion have its own festivals. At times when festivals of two religions coincide there may be greater rejoicing or a communal riot. Festivals therefore, seem to be a part of religion. Performance of religious rites normally is an essential aspect of festivities. Many of our festivals, we are told, owe their origin to acts of the Gods; the birth of Lord Rama (Ramnavami), his return from exile (Diwali), the birth of Lord Krishna (Krishnastami or Janmastami) and so on. But mythology apart, two aspects about festivals that are evident are that they are occasions for rejoicing, and that they are social in character.
