MAhout Advice - Festivals

India is a country with many religious and regional variations which have given birth to a wealth of culture and beliefs. Throughout the year different regions have different holidays - times when India comes to life with song, dance, procession and colour as locals celebrate with colourful and exotic festivals. Celebrated uniquely in cities, or widely across the country, people travel from far and wide to attend a particular festival pertaining to their religion, and a joyful atmosphere pervades.

Several festivals also take the form of fairs where locals come to buy and sell cattle, goats, camels and horses. Most festivals follow the Indian lunar calendar and dates therefore change from year to year. Aside from the major festivals listed here, there are others that are celebrated annually; unfortunately space does not permit us to mention them all.

Should you require information on other festivals, please contact us. There’s a MAhout Hotel to luxuriate in at every festival venue!
