Hinduism is an age-old religion that can be traced back to prehistoric times. Though its origins remain uncertain, the Hindu religion, as per the Indologists, represents a great culture with beliefs holding high moral standards and a strong scientific basis. To have a clear understanding of Hinduism and its rituals, one has to learn and decode the Vedic texts fundamental to the religion. In this page, we are making an effort to let you know the various hidden and scientific factors behind the Hindu festivals.

All festivals or special days in the Hindu Calendar are connected with some myths that signify the days’ importance as the birthday of some God/Goddess or commemorate some mythical event. On a deeper perception, we could find that these festivals and the associated rituals have great astrological, seasonal, cultural, and scientific bases. Some festivals befall on astrologically significant moments, some are associated with agricultural cycles, and some are celebrated in the context of seasonal changes. All Hindu rituals instrumented by our ancestors have a higher purpose which would be scientifically relevant to the observing person or community. Let’s explore together what lies behind the color, passion, and gaiety of various Hindu festivals in India.
