Pongal is celebrated in Tamil Nadu and almost all through South India. It is a four day harvest festival and it is kind of thanksgiving to nature. The first day is celebrated in the honour of Lord Indra, the God of rain. On the second day rice is cooked in milk in an earthen pot outside the house. The third day of pongal is Pongal for cows and on the fourth day women perform ritual before bathing and pray for their brothers to prosper.

Bihu is the most important festival of Assam. People celebrate Bihu by paying respect to elders. Traditionally Bihu was celebrated with Bihu dance, a specific form of dance, which was performed by a group of youths who used to go from house to house. However, with time, now cultural festivals are organized and they are based on Bihu songs and dance.

India was traditionally considered as a land of farmers whose primary occupation is agriculture.

This is the reason why most of the festivals and lifestyle are exclusively linked with agriculture. People rejoice, give thanks to God and nature for the harvest and beautiful life ahead.
