Festivals & Holidays hashtags

What belongs in this category

Festivals and holidays are best organized by the actual celebration, cultural or regional context, and the content being published. A recipe, ritual, outfit and travel post can all belong to the same festival but need different supporting labels.

How to select a set

Name the festival first, then choose the specific tradition, activity, food, place or format shown. Add regional terms when they accurately describe the celebration rather than treating one custom as universal.

Practical example

Example: a Pongal kolam tutorial can use Pongal, kolam and Tamil cultural context, while a Pongal recipe should shift the supporting tags toward the dish and food tradition.

India & global perspective

• India: festivals differ by region, language, calendar and tradition; pages should acknowledge those differences rather than flattening them.
• Global: Christmas, Lunar New Year, Ramadan and other holidays are celebrated differently across countries and communities, so local context matters.
