From the above list, we can say that India is a land of religious diversities. This land is a land of festivals and celebrations where different festivals are being celebrated every year. Being a secular country, everybody is free to follow own religion.

Despite all diversities many festivals are celebrated by people of more than one religion. This indicates the “Unity in Diversity” in India.
