[center]Holi
Holi (also called Holaka or Phagwa) is an annual festival
celebrated on the day after the full moon in the Hindu month of
Phalguna (early March). It celebrates spring, commemorates
various events in Hindu mythology and is time of disregarding
social norms and indulging in general merrymaking. Holi is
probably the least religious of Hindu holidays.
Diwali
Diwali, from the Sanskrit word Dīpăvali, meaning "row of
lights" is a Hindu festival of lights lasting five days. For
many Hindus, Diwali is also New Year's Eve. Diwali is held on
the final day of the Vikram calendar, a type of Hindu calendar
followed by North Indians.
Mahashivaratri (Shiva Ratri)
Mahashivaratri (also called Shiva Ratri) is the Great Festival
of Shiva. It is held on the 14th day of the dark half of the
lunar month of Phalguna. Mahashivaratri is especially important
to Saivites (devotees of Shiva), but it is celebrated by most
Hindus. Other sacred days:
- Rama Navami - birthday of Lord Rama (April)
- Krishna Jayanti - birthday of Lord Krishna (July-August)
- Raksābandhana - renewing bonds between brothers and
sisters (July-August)
