Kerala is a melting pot where several ethnic
and religious groups mingle. A good illustration of the religious
tolerance or secularism is found in the heart of Kerala's capital,
'Thiruvananthapuram', where a Hindu temple, a mosque and a cathedral
stand side by side. The ancient rulers of Kerala never practiced
religious discrimination. Patronage was distributed not only to
the Hindus, but also to the Christians, the Jews and the Muslims.
Each of the unique festivals brightens up
the otherwise customary affairs of life. It is a reason to celebrate
life and resembles eternal harmony. Filled with laughter, enthusiasm
and excitement, festivals bring people of various religions and
backgrounds together and take pleasure in the endowments of nature.
With ever so many fests all through the
year to cherish, to get together and to rejoice, Keralites must
be truly blessed. Every season wakes up to another delightful festival,
which makes life more vivacious and cheerful.
A close look at the Kerala calendar will
reveal that this is a land where the festivals never end.
