Faiths, fairs and festivals play a dominant role in our society. They have deep links with our customs, beliefs and traditions, in fact the functioning of our society depends upon the celebration of big and small functions. Thus there are festivals and fairs in the memory of our Gods, Goddesses, and deities. Indeed they are several in number. For example we celebrate Diwali, Dussehra and other festivals and fairs with much pomp and show. They have links with religious fakirs and avatars who had miraculous power.

Sometime these are the annual feature. People make huge preparations in the form of dance and music, shops are well arranged. There is much festivity and a sense of happiness on the faces of a common man or women. People greet each other, sit in groups and enjoy eatables of their taste.

These festivals and fairs bring about a sense of religions unity among the communities. It generates the feeling of strong brotherhood and the sense of helping attitude among millions of people.

The purpose of writing this book is to make my countrymen aware of the greatness and cultural unity of the nation. Hope that this book will be informative to them all who want to know their culture, society and people in greater depths.
