Highlight festivals that revolve around agriculture and harvest

Festival of Harvest - This festival is celebrated in the month of February. The main objective of this festival is to worship Lord Rama who was born on this day and also known as the “Ramjanmabhoomi”. Every year, people celebrate the festival by offering prayers to Lord Ram and offering gifts to him including fruits, flowers etc., which are later distributed among others who participate in this event.

Festival of Sun - This festival occurs every year during summer season when sun rises at its peak temperature point while other seasons see it setting down gradually but not so fast like during winters only few hours remain after sunrise before going off completely thus making it difficult for people living under such conditions especially those working outdoors such as farmers or fishermen etc., who go out everyday without fail despite having harsh weather conditions at different times throughout their lives because they need sunlight!
