PLACE OF RITUALS, TEMPLES AND FESTIVALS IN HINDUISM    

 
Though the rules and regulations of a festival introduce an amount of austerity in personal life, they also tighten this burden and elevate the mind when performed properly. A rathotsava (temple-car festival) or a mela (religious fair) has its own story to tell and lessons to teach. 

The former seems to signify that if you are too busy to go to the Lord, He Himself will come to you ! The latter provides an opportunity for like minded devotees to congregate in a place and strengthen one another spiritual vibrations. That is why they have become part and parcel of our life, for centuries.
