<holidayfyi-glossary slug="monsoon-festival"></holidayfyi-glossary>A celebration welcoming or marking the arrival of the annual monsoon rains, observed across South and Southeast Asia as a vital seasonal turning point that brings relief from heat and replenishes water supplies for agriculture. In Kerala the monsoon season is tied to Onam preparations; in Thailand, Khao Phansa (Buddhist Lent) begins with the first rains; and in many parts of India the first monsoon rain is greeted with outdoor dancing and considered auspicious for new beginnings, reflecting the fundamental dependence of agrarian civilisations on seasonal rainfall.
