Festivals why


Why celebrations of festivals are necessary for human lives? 
Unity in Diversity:
In our country there is pluralistic society. The emotional realization of unity in diversity is our socio-cultural ethos and philosophical worldview.
Nothing brings people together like festivals do. They play a pivotal role in nation-building; bringing people from every religious, economic and social background together.
Festivals have both social and economic angles. In the chaotic and stressful planet we inhabit, happiness is overshadowed by negativity and insecurity and so the need for something that could bring positivity has been felt time and again.
Festivals act like stress relievers and help us balance our emotions. More positivity naturally lowers negativity. It also provides an opportunity to reduce friction and brings estranged friends and relatives together in a bond of love.
We are dependent on social heritage, which is a mixture of customs, traditions, moral values, attitudes, festivals, folklore, beliefs and ideals not only makes us who we are but binds us to pass it on from one generation to another.
Importance of festivals:
Festivals contribute immensely to feelings of social cohesion. They involve community elders sharing stories and experiences; setting templates for maintaining unity among families.
A religious festival is a time of special importance marked by adherents to that religion. Religious festivals are commonly celebrated on recurring cycles in a calendar year or lunar calendar. Hundreds of very different religious festivals are held around the world each year and a religious festival is about celebrating something that is special to that religion.

Festivals have historically been a great source of entertainment especially before the advent of mass-produced entertainment. They divert peoples’ attention from their demanding lives and amuse them in their leisure time.
Social significance:
The society has given an important place to religious festivals. They are of integrative value. They also have significance for socialization purposes. Festivals often serve to fulfill specific communal purposes, especially in regard to commemoration or thanksgiving.
The celebrations offer a sense of belonging for religious, social or geographical groups, contributing to group cohesiveness. Festivals that focus on cultural or ethnic topics also seek to inform community members of their traditions; the involvement of elders sharing stories and experience provides a means for unity among families.
Celebration allows us to relax and unwind in the midst of busy and crazy lives. There is something deep inside humanity that loves to celebrate the best things in life.
Perhaps the best thing about celebration of any kind is that it makes our lives richer and fuller.
Thus, festivals that give us the opportunity to forget all our worries and celebrate the positive side of life.
