Public Holidays in India
印度三大节
印度是一个充满着宗教信仰的国家，所以奠定了印度多彩多样的文化和习俗。灯节Diwali、洒红节Holi和十胜节Dussehra是印度教三大节日
印度洒红节(Holi)
Holi节是印度的传统节日，相当于中国的春节。Holi节大致在每年公历3月份左右。节日期间，人们会进行包括宴请宾客、燃烧火焰和涂抹色彩的庆祝活动，所以又被称为色彩节(Festival of Colours)。其中最有趣的庆祝形式就是涂抹色彩了，代表了好运和祝福。中文还把这个节日翻译成了洒红节。
印度排灯节(Diwali)
印度的灯节（Diwali迪瓦利）也被称作排灯节Festival of Light，是印度三大节日之一。这一节日已经传承了5千到7千年，印度最古老的节日。这一节日持续五天。为了迎接排灯节，印度的家家户户都会点亮蜡烛或油灯，因为它们象征着光明、繁荣和幸福于每年10月或11月中举行。常用问候语 Wish you all a very Happy Diwali.
