HAPPY HOLI...04 March 2007!!




Holi is the most colourful festival of the Hindus and falls on the full moon day in the month of Phalgun according to the Hindu Calendar which is the month of March as per the Gregorian Calendar. This Holi festival has many elements of primitive and prolific rites and reveries that have defied civilisation and prudery. During the three days of the festival, particularly the whole country, towns, cities and villages ~ go gay with merry makers, streets, parks, public places are crowded with people, daubed in diverse colours, looking funny and ridiculous. Children and youngsters vie with each other in being original and use fast and sticky colours. It is all a mirthful abandon for them.

This festival of joy, mirth and buoyancy is celebrated when both Man and Nature cast off their winter gloom. Holi heralds the arrival of SPRING ~ the season of hope and new beginnings and marks the rekindling of the spirit of life.
