Till recently the relationship continued in a fine manner, but then, there are reasons. The festivals of India mostly helped the family traditions to remain in tact. There are colorful festivals like Holi etc where all family members, for that matter, all persons in the local area join and celebrate a game like which enables them to come closer. These festivals were conducted amidst a very healthy and lively atmosphere where not only the family members, but many known and unknown join at one place and express the spirit of oneness. Photographs are taken and preserved and it is very common that when the look at the photographs of yesteryears where they joined the families, their eye brows were up, lot of smiles on the face with all sweet memories and that is all can not be written on this small piece of note book, but, surely to be experienced.
In the recent days, the tendency started changing, due to search of a job etc the children migrated to different places, and they could not reach their parents for celebrating a festival or so and the gap started widening.
There are interesting festivals like "brother and sisters festival" which is observed on the third bright day after Diwali. Brothers should go to the place of their sisters and the sister should cook food and offer the same to her brother with all affection. This is still being continued in many parts of India which is helping the Indian family to remain close and maintain the relationship.
Diwali is yet, another festival which is celebrated with all fire works; distribution of sweets; and many such.
In southern Parts of India, Bhogi, Sankranti are celebrated as the first festivals in the month of January every year. The reason behind this was, most farmers used to get their crop home by that time, as such, it is common to cook using the new produce like rice etc and celebrate the festival.
Ugadi, the year beginning was also treated as one of the best festivals of India which normally comes in the month of March every year.
To speak, the ancient tradition helped Indian families to come close at least once in a month in the name of some festival or other like, the month of January-Bhogi or Sankranti; the month of February - Maha Shivarathri for Lord Shiva and Radha Saptami or worshipping of Lord Sun; the month of March - Ugadi or new year celebrations and Holy - A colorful festival; the month of April - Sri Ramanavami in the name of Lord Rama; the month of May - Lord Hanuman Birth day; the month of June and July - Guru Poornima or Respects to the masters; the month of August-Goddess Lakshmi Worship in some parts of Indian and in some other parts entire month is a festive season; the month of September - Vinayaka Chaturdhi and also offering of oblations to the departed souls in the family; the month of October - again a total festive month due to Dasara and Dewali; the month of November - again a total festive month in the name of worship to Lord Shiva in Kartik Maas; the month of December - again a total festive month due to millions of people observing Ayyappa Deeksha or Bhavani Deeksha etc to regulate their food and other habits and gearing up health wise by observing a forty day season on these matters and this is done irrespective of caste or any such.
Thus more or less, the festivals of India are keeping the Indian families together and these festivals keep the activity of all sections people as an on-going one.
In the meantime celebrations in the families, like marriages, naming ceremony, tonsuring ceremony, new baby and a hundreds of such, besides there are specific festivals for each branch of the Hindus in different regions and they differ from family to family and region to region - and in one point - 364 DAYS ARE FESTIVE DAYS which kept the families always active and enjoying the time with family and friends, besides this, these festivals helped the traders too largely.
