Festivals
are celebrated to commemorate some bygone events of supreme significance that
ushered in memorable eras of peace and prosperity in the land, by persons of
extraordinary intellectual brilliance or spiritual eminence. People keep in
remembrance of certain momentous moments and honour the illustrious people
instrumental for establishing jagatkalyan. It is but natural that they turn out
to be days of great rejoicing consuming incalculable sums of money and
materials.
These gala days knit mankind together and give occasions for
solidarity among them. They are of course, inaugurated first in heaven and man
being created in the image of the highest God is emulating the ennobling
tradition since the dawn of intelligence. The numerous jayanthis, vardhanthis
etc. of both gods and humans stand in testimony of this all commendable
tradition.
