Madhya Pradesh is a lively state. Every year a lot of festivals are celebrated in the state. Some of these highlight the culture and tradition of the state while the others are religious festivals of the different communities of people who live in the state. One of the popular Buddhist festivals celebrated in the state every year is the Chetiyagiri Vihara Festival. It is celebrated in the end of November every year at Sanchi. People come to visit this place to see the relics of the two great disciples of Budhha namely Sariputta and Mahamogellena. These were found in the year 1853.
Madhya Pradesh Festival emulates the festive fervour that runs through the veins of India. Bounded by five different states, this land of contrasts has absorbed a little culture and tradition from each, and yet has an identity wholly its own. This aspect is most evident in its festivals. While Madhya Pradesh also celebrates pan-Indian festivals such as Holi, Dussehra, Id and Diwali with fervour, there are several festivals, both religious and cultural, which are exclusive to the state. Considering their sheer number, odds are that tourists will get to participate in or experience at least one while visiting MP.
