Festivals by Tiny: every celebration, your style
Meet festivals the Tiny way
Festivals by Tiny is a free website where our mascot Tiny dresses up for festivals of India and the world. Each festival comes with a picture of Tiny in a matching outfit, and a short guide: when it is celebrated, why, who started it, where it is popular, the popular dresses and a fun "Do you know?" fact.

Hi, I am Tiny!
I love festivals, colours and learning new things. Ask me about any festival on this website and I will tell you when it is celebrated, why, and what people wear.
I answer from the festival pages stored on this website, so I do not need the internet or an AI service. I can only talk about festivals listed here.
Questions people ask
Quick answers about Tiny and this website.
What is Festivals by Tiny?
It is a free educational website where Tiny, our mascot, wears outfits inspired by festivals of India and the world. Each festival page tells you when it is celebrated, why, who started it, where it is popular, the popular dresses and a fun fact.
Who is Tiny?
Tiny is the friendly mascot created by wondermayank. On the home page you can chat with Tiny and ask things like "What is Diwali?" or "When is Holi?". On festival pages, Tiny shares a "Do you know?" fact.
Are the pictures real photos?
No. They are digital illustrations of Tiny. The outfits are respectful interpretations inspired by traditional clothing. Real regional or ceremonial dress can differ in details, so please use these pictures as an introduction and not as a strict guide.
Why do festival dates change every year?
Many festivals follow lunar or lunisolar calendars (Hindu, Islamic, Buddhist and Jain), so their dates on the usual calendar shift each year. We show the usual time of year. For the exact date, please check a local calendar or your community.
Does Tiny use the internet or an AI service?
No. Tiny answers from the festival information stored on this website, so it works without any outside AI service. Tiny can only answer questions about the festivals on this site.
How can I ask for a festival to be added?
Use the Contact button at the top of the page and tell us the festival name. We plan to add more festivals, including the Jewish, Zoroastrian and International pages that are coming soon.
