Hindu Festivals (Origin, Sentiments and Rituals)

Hindu Festivals (origin, sentiments & rituals) is an excellent, well-researched documentation of our ancestral samskars and heritage at its best. The inclusion of 529 colour photographs, 75 paintings and 30 maps have successfully captured the true spirit of festivals, with the central emphasis on devotion to Paramatma and the deities, rather than just mundane enjoyment. There are also practical ideas in the appendix about how children can celebrate festivals. This sets the book apart from the usual “Fairs and Festivals of India” type seen on bookshelves. For both young NRIs and those in India, this book is a must.
