Festivals impart entertainment in society, people participate in socialization, and festivals act as a mechanism to resolve the social tensions, conflicts, and social stress through participation of their members. It provides a platform to express, share and understand their ideas to others through interactions. In a way, it imparts societal glue because it offers people meaning and purpose for their lives, and it gives definite values and meanings. That’s why people believe in religious religions offer ceremonies and festivals socialize their members with their values, and ultimately festivals, work an agency to control the behavior of people either imparting “hope” or creating by “fear.” In fact, religions, rituals and festivals are practices required or expected of members of faith and usually honor the divine power (or powers) worshipped by believers; the) also remind adherents of their religious duties and responsibilities.
