Christmas is also one of the grand festivals in India. At the same time, since Christianity is also one of the main denominations in India, Christmas in India has a certain religious color compared to other countries, and the services provided by Indian Christian churches to consumers will also play an important role in this festival.
For Indians, celebrating festivals is always accompanied by lights and colors, and Christmas is no exception. Churches are decorated with colorful lights, which is very spectacular. Local shops, markets and shopping malls will be hung with colorful and flashing fairy lights, paper streamers and flowers and other Christmas decorations. Most Indian families will also put a Christmas tree at home, as well as many handmade decorations.
An Indian friend once said: Christmas in India is a great fusion of all cultures during the colonial period. During the festival, they will prepare fruit cakes (influenced by British plum puddings), rose cookies (influenced by the Dutch), and many French and Portuguese delicacies. Of course, the most purchased food is still a variety of nuts and dried fruits, which can be mixed with other foods or enjoyed alone.
Eid al-Fitr
Eid al-Fitr is one of the main festivals of Islam. Eid al-Fitr is a festival of joy and peace, and it is also the busiest time for Muslims. In order to thank God for his blessing, they will wear the latest clothes on this day, bring gifts and greet people.
Therefore, people start preparing for the celebration of the festival long before Eid al-Fitr. During this period, people’s demand for clothing, gifts, decorations and household items will be relatively strong.
