Culture (Latin meaning 'to cultivate') is the arts and other instances (customs, ideas, beliefs..etc) of human intellectual achievement (of a people, group, Nation) regarded as whole. Tradition (Latin meaning 'to hand down/over) is the passing on of customs and beliefs from generation to generation. Tradition is a part of Culture. Culture scope is more wider than tradition. Example for Indian- Culture: Dance(Bharathnatyam), Architecture (Hoysala or Mughal), Music (Hindustani/Karnatic), Yoga etc... Tradition: Hospitality, Bindu, Tilak, Arti, Funeral tradition, Rangoli, Henna, etc etc

Tradition is a part of culture, but there is more to culture than tradition. Culture refers to all the behaviors and beliefs of a society, not just those handed down by tradition. The celebration at Christmas is a tradition for most western countries. The current advertisements for Christmas are not part of that tradition, but they are part of the culture.
