WHY DO WE CELEBRATE FESTIVALS..?

Every religion in this world celebrates some festivals. Some religions celebrate once a year and some celebrate once a month and some with other criteria.

The reason for celebrating festivals is nothing but reducing stress in every individual. We guys encounter various problems in our daily life in different aspects. It may be related to money, power, status, relations etc...

no one will think like... we should take a holiday for reducing stress. let's take some rest if we even think like that customers or associates won't let that happen.

If we get a day on which everyone would get rested and no one disturbs others, even everyone can spend the time with parents, children, relatives happily with some cause. Western countries have holidays on Sunday... the reason they gave is the same... but they just gave that periodically by saying the name of their god (Jesus). In the same way, we are having holidays or festivals according to the lunar calendar but irregularly.

The things we do at festivals will have some reasons behind them.

1. Ugadi: New year celebration when we eat Ugadi pachadi which indicates the different emotions we feel.
2. Sri Rama Navami: The day we sit under pandiri made of taati aakulu, and drink panakam because that is the time when the sun would be flaring on us. Drinking panakam can give us energy and health and energy in the summer.
3. Vinayaka Chavithi: in general this festival is celebrated at the time of onset of the monsoon, for making idols people need clay soil which is mostly found near lakes. As we remove soil for the clay, the lakes increase their capacity to store and more water is saved for agriculture and drinking purpose. after the 10 days idols are dropped in the lakes or rivers along with some leaves which can help in cleaning water bodies.
4. Dusshera:  A 10-day festival that indicates the women power
5. Diwali and karthika maasam: Diwali is celebrated just before the winter starts on the day of no moon day (Amavasya) from the next day karthika maasam will be started and diyas will be kept in front of homes, the oil we use for diyas can give much heat compared to other with long-lasting nature, the heat can help us against the coldness in that season.
6. Sankranthi is celebrated by the farmers (especially) for their arrival of new crops, bhogi (a day before the Sankranthi) we burn dung cakes in the fire for the heat in the time of extreme winter.

The festivals mentioned are just the main festivals followed by Hindus... there are a lot of festivals still having more reasons.
