Traditions

The followers of Sanātana Dharma, or Sanātanīs, have a lot of traditions, as India is the most diverse country in the world. There are 365 festivals in Sanātana Dharma, but because of economic reasons, only a handful of the major ones are celebrated. These religious festivals include Uttarayan, Holi, and Diwali/Deepawali, along with many others.
