Fairs and Festivals in India - Calendar India is the seventh largest country in the world. The countrys official name, India is derived from the Old Persian version of Sindhu, the historic local appellation for the river Indus. The Constitution of India and general usage also recognizes Bharat, which is derived from the Sanskrit name of an ancient Hindu king, whose story is to be found in the Mahabharata, as an official name of equal status. A third name, Hindustan, or land of the Hindus in Persian, was used from Mughal times onwards, though its contemporary use is unevenly applied due to domestic disputes over how representative it is as a national signifier.   Names of Fairs & Festivals in India 2016 2017 2018 Makar Sankranti 14 Jan 14 Jan 14 Jan Pongal Festival 15 Jan 15 Jan 15 Jan Bikaner Camel Festival 30 Jan - 3 Feb 19-24 Feb 13-14 Jan Mamallapuram Dance Festival Jan-Feb Jan-Feb Dec-Jan Kumbha Mela Mid Apl to May - - Taj Mahotsav - Agra 18-27 Feb 18-27 Feb 18-27 Feb Khajuraho Dance Festival 20-26 Feb 20-26 Feb 20-26 Feb Nagaur Cattle Fair 13-16 Feb 1-4 Feb 10-13 Feb Jaisalmer Desert Festival 20-22 Feb 8-10 Feb 29-31 Jan Elephant Festival - Jaipur - 13 Mar 2 Mar Holi - Festival of Colors 23 Mar 13 Mar 2 Mar Gangaur in Jaipur 9-10 Apl 29-30 Mar 20 Mar Teej - Festival of Women 5-6 Aug 26-27 Jul 12 Sep Champakulam Boat Race in Kerala 20 Jun 8 Jul 28 Jul Nehru Trophy Boat Race in Alleppey, Kerala 13 Aug 12 Aug 11 Aug Onam in Kerala 14 Sep 4 Aug 24-27 Aug Durga Pooja Navratra 9 Oct 26-30 Sept 15-19 Oct Vijayadashmi or Dussehra 11 Oct 30 Sept 19 Oct Deepawali - Festival of Lights 30 Oct 19 Oct 7 Nov Pushkar Camel Fair 8-14 Nov 28 Oct - 1 Nov 15-23 Nov Ganga Mahotsav 11-14 Nov - - Christmas Eve Celebrations 24 Dec 24 Dec 24 Dec
