Hosted by Diptarup G.:
India is a diverse land with myriad cultures, and it is fascinating how Indians celebrate every single festival with the same fervour as any other. Most of the festivals are celebrated to mark a historically or mythically significant day or person. What makes these occasions memorable though, are the ways in which they are celebrated across the country. This tour will guide you through glimpses of the biggest festivals celebrated all across India like Diwali, Holi, Durga Puja, and Uttarayana among others, and also delineate the story behind every single festival and why it is celebrated today. If you are interested in getting a first-hand and personal account of how to celebrate each festival, this tour will also encourage you to start enjoying Indian festivals in your own localities.

I’m Dr Diptarup Ghosh Dastidar, a research fellow at Banaras Hindu University, India. My PhD thesis deals with comics studies and spatiality, but my interests span farther wide into popular culture, gender studies, and Indology. I have taught at various universities in India and am currently teaching literature and language to school kids in Uttar Pradesh. Living in the historic city of Varanasi (aka Benares), I have been driven into learning and talking about ancient Indian scriptures, mythology, and philosophy. I am very passionate about socialising and I love lecturing! I’m also a musician and vocalist in the alt-rock band – The Spring Leaves – while I’m not teaching, or reading! I hope that I’ll be able to add some value to your experience with World Virtual Tours. Cheers!
