Hi Kaushal,
in addition to the solution provider by Mihamina to monitor the load average on your server, "htop" on CentOS can be more clear for you to read the output as well.
install rpmforge repo
yum insall htop, type htop when done. look ay load average figure. then find out the cause.
Thanks / Regards Prabhpal

Are there tools or utilities to understand about the reason behind high load on CentOS Linux. Please help me understand with examples.
How did you know there is a high load in the first place?
Using "w" command
- top
- iotop
The load average has relationship with I/O.
If you have RAID system, check what the status says you. You might be on a degraded RAID (broken, rebuilding,...) eating much disk I/O.
