Hindu Festivals

Hinduism is a culturally rich religious tradition with many festivals and feasts that celebrate the greatness of God, the victory of light over darkness as well as cosmological events. Hinduism has a complex and ancient calendar system that follows both the solar and lunar cycles, with full moons and new moons having particular significance.

Please see the Calendar of Festivals for this year as well as explanations of the various festivals and fasts observed by Hindus around the world.

Quote of the Day

Hinduism...gave itself no name, because it set itself no sectarian limits; it claimed no universal adhesion, asserted no sole infallible dogma, set up no single narrow path or gate of salvation; it was less a creed or cult than a continuously enlarging tradition of the God ward endeavor of the human spirit. An immense many-sided and many staged provision for a spiritual self-building and self-finding, it had some right to speak of itself by the only name it knew, the eternal religion, Santana Dharma...
