India has many religions, such as Christian, Hindu, Islam and etc. Every religion has their own culture and celebration day. Each celebration are celebrated on a rituals from each religion. the rituals are organized with uniquely in different ways because it has their own stories. However, India celebrated Christian, Hindu, and Islam holiday.
Christmast and post celebration are celebrated in India every year. The celebration and the preparation is started in the month of November only. A week before the festival, people clean their house and start decorating their house by beautiful lanterns which are hung in front of the house or in the balcony. The important things in christmast festival are variety of cakes, beautiful candles, christamast carol and Christmas tree. At the festival, churches are decorated wonderfully. On December 25th is festival day. Christian people pray in the church and then exchange wishes and gift each other. Clearly, all Christian in India celebrate christamast with really festive.
India also celebrates Hindu’s various holiday celebrations, such as Diwali, Dussehra, Holy, and Sri Krishna. Diwali is the festival of light. In Diwali almost every house and street in india is decorated with lamp and light. Besides, Indian people also observe Dussehra that commemorate Lord Rama was killed by Ravana. Holy is the greatest festival of Hindus. They use many kinds of color. Usually this festival is celebrated with a lot of pomp in North India. Hindus in India also commemorate the birthday of Lord Krishna that is name Sri Krishna. It is held at Krishna temples across India. The festival itself is preceded by day fast that is broken midnight. Devotional songs and dance mark the celebration of the festive occasions all over North India. It is clear that India makes marry commemorating Hindu Celebrations.
All moslem in India are enthusiast to celebrate moslem holiday. Although Islam is termed on of minority religion of India, but its major festivals are well-known and observe throughout the country in ways that trenched cultural borders. It is caused moslem in India always prepare the festival well. Each event is celebrated in different ways. Like Idul Fitri, all moslem  don their best cloth, visit family and friends, exchange sweet and gift and of course include in lavish feast. Second, the birthday of Prophet Muhammad SAW is commemorated by much fanfare, sang, and dance that are not part of traditionally modest Islamic observance. Third, Shab-e Barat is celebrated send prayer in the graves that distributed helwa to neighbors, friends, and the poors. Helwa is special moslem’s recipes  in India. So, there are various moslem holidays celebrations done well because of moslem’s enthusiasm in India.
Plurality in India, especially religious plurality kept by Indian people, such as Christian, Hindu, Moslem in India celebrate their holiday celebrations. They always prepare their each celebration absolutely perfect. Every the celebration seems really magnificent and unique. I think that success of all those celebrations also because the Indian people have a soul high tolerance. It is seen from those who appreciate one another.
