Abstract
Festivals are celebrated together even though human society lives in different sects. Festivals are the culture of a society. It also helps to understand habits. Festivals start with a sense of worship and grow and live with confidence in terms of rituals. Through festivals, education, knowledge and goodwill are developed among the people. Festivals have been celebrated among the Tamils from generation to generation. Such special festivals are found in sangam literature and in later lagamas. By celebrating the festivals it is not only the happiness of the individuals but also the family. The society and people from all walks of life are happy. Though human society has lived in different sects for a variety of reasons, festivals are the root causes for the society to come together and celebrate. This is the basic purpose of celebrating the festival.
