There is more diversity of religions in India than anywhere on earth. Apart from having representations from almost all the religions of the world, India is also the birthplace of Hinduism and Buddhism as well as two religions unique to India, Sikhism and Jainism. India has also played host to a number of migrant communities who have freely practised their beliefs and thus you can find Jewish Synagogues, Armenian Churches, Zoroastrians' Fire Temples in the neighbourhood of more mainstream temples, mosques, and churches.
Each religion in India has its own pilgrimage sites, gods, heroes, legends, customs and traditions, and even culinary specialties. Whether it's the gathering of millions of faithful at the Kumbh Mela, bowing in prayer in the courtyard of a mosque during Eid, decorating the houses with lamps during Diwali, or the vibrant festivities during Christmas, religious festivals of India are celebrations of shared emotion that bring people together.
