There are hundreds of festivals and fairs which are of regional significance, celebrated with equal pomp and colour. The most authentic of these are the following: The Temple Festivals in southern India, a list of which is
often available at GITOs. Festivals at Ladakh in Kashmir. Festivals in Rajasthan; a visitor will be unlucky to visit Rajasthan at a time when a festival of some kind is not either in progress or about to take place. The visitor may also be lucky enough to witness dancing at a village festival or a private wedding. (b) March 1999-2000 has been declared the Khajuraho Millennium Year by the Indian government and the state of Madhya Pradesh in celebration of the ancient site of Khajuraho (built 900-1100 AD). In celebration of the 20 remaining temples from the 1000-year-old dynasty and in order to make visitors aware of India's cultural and religious heritage, a number of special Khajuraho
millennium events will be held throughout the country. These include educational workshops, dances, theatre, a film festival, music and artistic workshops. For a full list contact the Government of India Tourist Office . |
