No that is not it at all. Most of my workers STILL work on these days. Im just interested in other Cultures. Its cool to learn how much things are different from country to country. I talked to you about that before on AIM...

I have friends that live in India.... guys from here. When they celebrate a Holiday I often get an email saying "Happy Holiday Name" and appreciate it.

I also find it interesting to learn other cultures and am glad to be in IM so I have a beeline to them from some of the people I am fortunate enough to have a business relationship as well as a friendship.

Well India is one of the unique countries where we celebrate festivals of almost all religions. Major religious festivals of Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Sikhism, Budhhism and Jainism will mean government office holidays!

Other than religious festivals there are regional festivals which are unique to certain states in India (e.g. basant Panchami, Pongal and Onam described above)

The biggest religious festival in India is Diwali - the festival of lights (usually celebrated on a day in October-November as Hindu festival dates are set according to Lunar calendar). Think of it as Christmas for Hindus

Many info about festivals is explained above in the comments, but there is the biggest gathering of humans on earth in India this year 2013...it is the Purna Kumbh Mela Festival....you should not miss it!!! you can find a nice article about the event with dates and a very cool video at holidayandfestival

If you take enough LSD every day is a festival.
