Description of Holidays in August
Independence Day: The British colonizers left India on 15th August 1947 and thus the country celebrates its Independence Day on 15th August every year.
Parsi New Year: Parsi New Year is a regional holiday celebrated in Maharashtra. The other name of this festival is 'Jamshed Navroz,' named after the legendary King of Persia.
Raksha Bandhan: Raksha Bandhan is a Hindu festival celebrated in many states. It celebrates the bond of the relationship between brothers and sisters as sisters tie a 'Rakhi' on the wrists of their brothers and the brothers vow to protect their sisters.
