It is commonly believed that people these days are not aware of the motive behind the celebration of religious and cultural festivals, whereas their sole purpose becomes enjoyment to celebrate festivals. While I agree that enjoyment is the primary concern, I disagree that people have forgotten what these festivals mean. On one hand, religious and traditional festivals have certainly become times of celebration. In the U.K., for example, on Christmas, people are more bothered to buy new clothes, decorate the house, and go on holiday rather than doing any Christmas prayers. and the parents, unfortunately, don't take any interest in educating their children on the real meaning of these festivals. Similarly, even the non-religious festivals such as "Halloween" in the West and "Baisakhi" in the North are just considered an opportunity to have fun. On the other hand, people are still aware of the cause behind the celebration of festivals. Undoubtedly, people have started to enjoy them more than in earlier times, but they have not forgotten the history of these festivals. For example, in India, people do a prayer called "Laxmi pooja" when they celebrate Diwali, meaning they are equally aware of their tradition and culture. Not only this, but schools also teach about the history and culture of religious and non-religious festivals. When these festivals are celebrated in schools, the only motive behind the celebration is to make students understand the real meaning of festivals. To conclude, although people enjoy and have a lot of fun celebrating cultural and religious festivals, they have never forgotten the motive behind the celebration.
