Maharashtrians are a vibrant, earthy people for whom life
itself is a celebration. Small wonder then that all
festivals in Maharashtra are celebrated with abundant
fervor and enthusiasm. These times provide a unique

colorful customs, rituals and traditions. The song, music
and dance that accompany almost every festive occasion add
joy and excitement to the lives of the people from every
walk of life.
These festivals attract world-renowned artistes -
musicians, dancers, painters, sculptors, weavers - who
come together to pay tribute to Maharashtra's rich culture
and legacy.
The Maharashtrians are a hearty, festive people. The love
for celebration is deeply ingrained in their culture and
it finds expression through the various occasions on the
Maharashtrian calendar. There is festivity all round the
year and people cherish the good times with music, dance
