India is a land of festivals with diversity of culture and cuisines. Here more than a hundred festivals are celebrated across the country in a year. However, the celebration of spring harvest is the most significant as devotees of different castes and communities pray to God for better harvesting in the coming year as this festival coincides with the New Year in certain parts of India.
