Seasonal Festivals — Key Changes

Entry	Year	Description	Impact
Not directly applicable	N/A	There are no direct constitutional amendments specifically targeting 'seasonal festivals' as a distinct category. However, amendments related to fundamental rights or the secular nature of the state indirectly impact the environment in which these festivals are celebrated.	While no specific amendment exists, the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976, which inserted 'secular' into the Preamble, reinforces the state's neutrality towards all religions, indirectly safeguarding the diverse religious and cultural expressions found in seasonal festivals. The fundamental rights themselves, particularly Articles 25-29, have been subject to judicial interpretation over time, shaping the scope of festival celebrations rather than direct amendment.
