India is a diverse country in the universe. India is more famous for festivals and traditions which we all follow. Festivals are a season wherein not only parents, grandparents, but also children love celebrating them with enthusiasm. Children will remember an important day only if they are told what the occasion signifies. So, a celebration makes them aware of the world in a more fun way. Celebrating events and festivals in our school has become an integral part of learning and building a strong cultural belief.
