Now to let those knw who might be knowing just the names of the festivals.il try to brief you all a little about the reasons for the celebrations..to begin with is baisakhi when the farmers of Punjab rejoice and dance in open fields for hours and hours with the dhol beats after cutting the good harvest.”SUNDAR MUNDRIYE HOEY TERA KAUN VICHARA? DULLA BHATTI WALA” this is the song that will echo your ears when the celebrationsof lohri are going on,fire is lighted and clapping is done and songs are sung also while gur and rewari the famous winter eatables rock the stomach then.Then the saawan rut celebrated by all the Punjabi girls especially the married onesthey come home{peke}for vacations wear colorful phulkaris swing under trees and adorn themselves with bangles and mehndi..the festival is commonly called teeyan shud have been dheeyan instead usnt as it is only for the daughters.they are heard singing!NI LEADE MAI KALLEAN BHAGAAN DI MEHNDI”then comes basant panchmi of which flying kites is a peculiar feature.karva chauth where married women ast and pray for the long blessed life of their husbands is also celebrated these days at a go.diwali of the anandpur sahib is now famous worldwide and its celebrations are then marked at the golden temple Amritsar where a large number of devotees gather to celebrate and offer their prayers.not to forget gurpurabs and martydoms of all the sikh gurus are ordained days for celebrations and fasting.apart from these festivals fairs are also held in the state of Punjab off which all age groups and all communities and religions are a part of.
its true. in the seasonal festivals religion play very less role
