This diversity is visible in the religious landscape. Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism, and Jainism have coexisted for centuries. Consequently, the Indian calendar is a constant cycle of festivals: Diwali (the festival of lights), Eid, Christmas, Pongal, and Guru Nanak Jayanti. For an Indian, life is a continuous celebration where the reason for joy changes every fortnight.
