Why Rice Festival ?

Rice has a special place across the Indian Subcontinent. Rice is included in pretty much every meal of the day in India. Culturally, rice is often directly associated with prosperity and fertility, hence there is the custom of throwing rice at newlyweds. In India, rice is always the first food offered to the babies when they start eating solids or to the husband by his new bride, to ensure they will have children. Rice is also used in Temples for worship and as medicine for many ailments. Such is the importance of Rice in India.

Save Our Rice

India had once, 1 Lakh 40 thousand varieties of rice officially documented til 1960. The exact origin of rice will perhaps never be known. However, it is certain that domestication of rice ranks as one of the most important developments in history. With the advent of the green revolution, & hybridization in agriculture, the diversity of rice has reduced to just a couple of thousands. Let us save our rice diversity by being aware of our indigenous Rice.
