Over the centuries, India's rich and ornate culture has either been forgotten and covered with the dust of time, or misinterpreted due to a lack of authentic information. The consequent result is that festive days today are either commercialized or celebrated mechanically without understanding their basic purpose.

Celebrations are the foundations on which a healthy, sturdy and relaxed community life is built. The very nature of India's festivals and celebrations is such that they tie men and women, animals, birds, and plant life in a common bond of security within the time frame of seasons and lifespan. In India, celebrating life is a way of life.
