Okay, so, I’ve been wanting to see what festivals happen in India during December. I mean, I know Christmas is big everywhere, but I was curious about what else is going on there that time of year.
First thing I did was to check online for a list of festivals in December in India. That’s the easy part, right? I just searched it up, and I found some interesting stuff.
I found out that one of the biggest festivals is Diwali. Apparently, it’s like the Hindu New Year and goes on for five days! But, here’s the catch – it doesn’t always fall in December. The date changes every year because it follows the Hindu calendar. Usually, it’s somewhere between October and November, so I guess I might miss it if I go in December.
Next, I dug a little deeper to see what was definitely happening in December. Of course, there’s Christmas on the 25th. That’s a given, and I figured it would be celebrated in India too, just like everywhere else in the world.
Then, I started planning a little. Since I wanted to be in India in December, I looked into the best places to visit during that month. You know, places where I could maybe catch a festival or two, or just have a good time in general. I found some good guides online that talked about places with a mix of adventure and relaxation.
So, after gathering all this info, I made a rough plan. I decided I’d definitely try to experience Christmas in India, even though it might be different from what I’m used to. If I got lucky, maybe I’d find some other local December festivals too.
- Search for festivals in December in India.
- Learn about Diwali and its flexible dates.
- Confirm Christmas celebrations on December 25th.
- Research the best places to visit in India in December.
- Create a rough plan for a December trip to India, focusing on experiencing Christmas and potentially other local festivals.
Final Thoughts
This whole thing was pretty fun. I learned a bit about Indian festivals, especially Diwali, and got some ideas for a possible December trip. It’s not set in stone, but I’m definitely more informed now than I was before. Who knows, maybe I’ll actually end up in India this December!
