Posted on Apr 23, 2009 in Category - Fairs & Festivals of India |

Tourism in India has been increased than ever before since the Indian Government realized the great prospective of tourism of India during vacations. Tourism of India during vacations has increased by leaps and bounds with a great influx of tourists throughout the globe as the place is home to a number of fairs and festivals. The major celebrations in India include pushkar fair, kumbh fair, Goa fair (carnival), surajkund fair, elephant festival and so on. All these Indian fairs and festivals symbolize people from sundry backgrounds, regions, communities and religion. Kumbh fair in Allahabad is one of the popular fairs in India.

The Kumbh fair is celebrated every 12 years and is considered as one of the most significant religious events in India. In fact, the fair is organized in four major cities such as Haridwar, Allahabad, Nasik and Ujjain. In the fair, a number of people come from all over the world to participate in this momentous event. The fair attracts travellers by their curiosity about the exotic traditions and the religious mysticism of India. A large number of saints (sadhus) gather on the banks of the Gange to take a dip in the holy river. This is because of myth that a bath in the Ganga eliminates all the previous sins. Moreover, it also purifies your inner-self through holy bathing rituals. So, plan a tour in India to have a close look of exotic traditions and the religious mysticism of India.
