 Diwali and Holi are two major festivals celebrated with great spirit by all the respective cast.The population is a complete combination of Bengalis, Oriyas, Biharis, Gujaratis, Marwadis and few others.Sometimes it is jocularly commented that if you visit Rishra you will be able to see all the classes and communities of people in India, perhaps the main reason for the vibrancy of Rishra.
