Like
every other state of India, Gujarat also celebrates all the festivals
with great zeal and joy. It is known as the land of fairs and festivals.
During the festive season, the people visit temples and pray, which is
usually followed by a round of merrymaking. The state is swept away by
the tides of festivity. There are some festivals which are celebrated
particularly in this region only. These festivals provide an opportunity
to learn about the cultural heritage of the people of Gujarat. On such
occasions, all the government offices observe holidays.
