Focusing on India, this is one of a series of pocket guides which celebrates the foods, holidays and traditions of individual countries. The Indian subcontinent, with its rich mix of religions, has many feasts throughout the calendar, from the Hindu Diwali (festival of lights), dedicated to Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, when candles are lit all over the cities, to the Muslim feast of Eid-e-Adha, when goats are slaughtered and cooked with great ceremony.
