CALENDAR

Dear Colleague,

The rich and vibrant festivals of India are a testimony to our diverse traditions and cultures. Festivals in
India revolve around mythology, birth anniversaries, seasonal changes, relationships and much more.

Right from our childhood, we imbibe this part cultural, part religious ethos of festivals. Regardless of
religion or caste, people of all ages celebrate festivals bringing 1.34 billion Indians close to each other in
mind and heart as one nation, instilling a deep sense of togetherness.

Indian festivals help deepen our knowledge and strengthen our bond with the rich heritage, history and
age-old traditions of India. It delights us to bring you this Calendar for 2018 – an attempt to capture the
spirit, festivity and ethos of India’s celebrated festivals!

Regale yourself with the spectacular palette of India’s cultural diversity in all its myriad hues and colours.

We take this wonderful opportunity to wish you and all in your family HAPPY 2018!
