Fact - Most festivals of the Vaishnav, Jain and Shiv religions take place during the four months of the monsoon season.
Detail - The reason for this is that during the rainy season, mosquitoes increase in number and health deteriorates. The ability of the body to digest food decreases because of the humidity in the air. During this time, if you eat less, your body’s power to fight against disease will be stronger. If the body stays healthy, it can carry on moral duties and do more for the self and for others as well. Thus, all the festivals are connected to the triad of seasons, health and worship.
