India,
being a multicultural and multireligious society, celebrates 
holidays
and festivals of various faiths and special interest groups. There are
three national holidays: Independence Day, Republic Day and Gandhi Jayanti. Hindu festivals of Diwali, Ganesh Chaturthi, Holi, Ugadi, Dussehra, Sankranthi/Pongal and the Islamic festivals of Eid-ul-Fitr, Eid-ul-Adha, Muharram, and Ramadan are the most popular religious festivals in India. A number of festivals are common to most parts of India. In addition, many states and regions have local festivals depending on prevalent religious and linguistic demographics.
The following is a List of Festivals in India:
Hinduism
Hindus celebrate a number of Festivals 
all through the year. From
celebrating the advent of spring to celebrating the win of good over
evil, Hindu religion and culture provide its followers endless reasons
to celebrate. Given below is the list of just a few of these festivals
that are celebrated with great zest and fervour.
Islamic
Christian
Sikhism
Zoroastrian
The Parsis account for less than 0.007% of the 
Indian population, but as Mahatma Gandhi said, they are "in number beneath contempt, but in contribution, beyond
compare." The same could be said of their festivals. Unfortunately,
like the Parsis themselves, these are private and celebrated primarily
within the community. The Parsis use the Shahenshahi ("Imperial") version of the Zoroastrian calendar, which differs significantly from the Qadimi ("Ancient") version that their Iranian co-religionists use. For
example, New Year is celebrated in the spring by Iranians but falls in
late summer for Parsis. In addition to seasonal festivals, called Gahambars, the most eminent celebratory occasions are listed below.
