Lets begin with understanding what a festival is:
 As per wikipedia, "A festival is a special occasion of feasting  or celebration, usually with a religious focus. Aside from religion, and  sometimes folklore, another significant origin is agricultural. Food  (and consequently agriculture) is so vital that many festivals are associated with harvest time."
What is the importance of festivals in life?


Festivals are diverse, plenty and regular. Every culture has it's own share of festivals and each one has a story associated with it.

From a historic perspective, each festival has a very specific significance. Arrival of a season, or the victory of good over evil, or the birth of god etc etc. Celebrating the festival means respecting that event and accepting as a positive influence in our life. This in my opinion, is the reason why our elders celebrate and follow festivals with such zeal and devoutness. 

But, today's time and society is very different. We do not believe in doing things just for the sake of it. And, in today's modern and competitive world, we personally do not connect to many festivals. Let me try to answer this with a current perspective ... why festivals are important in today's time.

1. Leaves: Statistically speaking, this is the most important reason why people wait for festivals. It gives them a day (or a couple of them) off to do things they have been waiting to do for a long time. This reason might sound strange or selfish, but if it gives people a reason to smile and relax, its worth it.
2. Get-togethers: Festivals bring people together. Relatives, friends and even enemies. You get to meet some of your relatives probably once in an year because of festivals. it could be compelling or unwanted, but a chance to catch up with your closed ones, is a blessing.
3. Buy. Shop. Change: In many families, major purchases are usually reserved for the festive season. Because, it is auspicious to bring in something new during the festive days and the market is full of offers during that time. Its a double win situation.
4. Atmosphere: festival periods are usually accompanied with amazing atmospheres. Even your locality market will be all decked up, overflowing with products and varieties. Everybody is looking at increasing sales and doing good business. People want to buy new stuff, sellers want to sell stuff. Its a very positive time for the entire market.
5. Happiness Quotient: This is my personal belief. I feel very happy during the festival month (Diwali, in my case). I do not know why, but somehow the month long period is full of optimism and smiles.
6. Cleaning: I have observed many households (including mine) that indulge in major cleaning and renovations of their homes during the festive period.
