art and culture | culture of solapur
Our culture is rich and diverse and as a result unique in its very own way. Our manners, way of communicating with one another, etc are one of the important components of our culture. Even though we have accepted modern means of living, improved our lifestyle, our values and beliefs still remain unchanged. A person can change his way of clothing, way of eating and living but the rich values in a person always remains unchanged because they are deeply rooted in our hearts, mind, body and soul which we receive from our culture.
As Solapur is an ancient land of Shiva yogi siddheshwar maharaj, this land has seen the flourishing of many mystic cults and spiritual places here.The culture of Solapur is very unique. Every year different festivals are celebrated here with great interest and zest. Ganesh Festival is especially celebrated with a great zest by the people. During Rakshabandhan there is a Rath Yatra of Markandeya God which is widely celebrated and participated by the Padmashali Community.
It is the Solapur culture that has taught people to coexist within themselves and is this attitude in the people that has brought about prosperity to the city of Solapur. It is the hardwork to keep the Solapur culture that has developed this small town that was inhabited by lord Siddharameshwar,to a city of multi-lingual, multi industrial, multi art and multi folklore catering to a population of over a million people. Solapur culture depicts a religious population where the people are proud of the religious places found in Solapur like Siddheswar Temple in Solapur and Vithoba temple in Pandhurpur. 
The people of Solapur love festivals and festivities. Being traditional minded, the Siddheswar Festival is an important part of Solapur culture. This is a festival that is held every year in the month of January. This is a long festival that lasts not for a few days, but for a complete month.
However three days are special in this one month of festivities. The day before Makarasankranti is the day Solapur culture mentions the wedding of sticks. Then on the day of Makarasankranti, there is a huge homa here while the day after Makarasankranti sees people of Solapur firing fireworks.
