I wish you and your family all the bright, hues of life -Happy Holi!
UJJWAL ANURAG, Editor-In-Chief, CEO, Business SandeshHoli is also known as the Festival of colors in India. It is a spring festival and perhaps the happiest and most colorful religious festival of the Hindus.
The Holi
celebrations begin on the last day of Phalgun. People collect sticks and straws
lying in streets at a place. At night they gather at that place and set fire to
the huge pile of sticks and straws. They sing songs to the accompaniment of
drums. They are mad with joy. They break up when the fire fades out.
The main celebration follows the next day. People are in a
happy mood. They sprinkle colored water on another. They smear their faces with
colored powders. Children spray colored water on the passes-by.
Even the old people are mad with joy. All people are in a
jolly mood. They forget social distinctions. They mix with all freely. In our
villages people move about with colored water. They sing, dance, and jump
about. They beat drums and sing loudly in a chorus. In the evening they visit
their friends and neighbors.
We should celebrate Holi in a decent
way. We must realize that it is a festival of joy and friendship. We should
share our joy with others.
