- Summary:
- Indians have more holidays on their calendar than anyone else in the world. Just about any event merits a celebration. In Mumbai (Bombay), there is a festival in honor of Ganesh, the god with the elephant head, which lasts several days. In Southern India, at springtime, bulls are free to roam through village squares. In Kerala, when the gods speak through men's mouths, what could have been a show becomes a sacred ritual; and in Gujerat young girls are allowed to choose their husbands during a fair.
