Enjoy the Festival of Colors

Holi
or 'Phagwah' is the most colourful festival celebrated by followers of
the Vedic Religion. It is celebrated as harvest festival as well as
welcome-festival for the spring season in India.

Why Celebrate Holi?
The
festival of Holi can be regarded as a celebration of the Colors of
Unity & Brotherhood - an opportunity to forget all differences and
indulge in unadulterated fun. It has traditionally been celebrated in
high spirit without any distinction of cast, creed, color, race, status
or sex. It is one occasion when sprinkling colored powder ('gulal') or
colored water on each other breaks all barriers of discrimination so
that everyone looks the same and universal brotherhood is reaffirmed.
This is one simple reason to participate in this colorful festival.
