Holi - Life needs colors
A joyful day to meet everyone, celebrate, forget and forgive.
Holi, the festival of colours is a very special day for all age groups - it's one festival which everyone enjoy. In my last post I shared how the God comes out to meet the devotees and start the festival of colors. That set the precedence in the kids to not spare us to buy them colours and start the planning.
And then finding that perfect old dress which can be used - it's so much fun to see that and remind us our childhood. It's like you have to find out the best discarded dress once in a year.
We have lot of kids in our society and the open area was dedicated to play colors. The fun started at around 10 am and it was all kid's affair.
It was so much fun to see the kids go wild - some of them even did not hesitate to use the mud water. And they were innovative as well - they prepared a water slide on their own - enjoy and clean the slide at the same time. You should watch the video to see their excitements. And of course they were disciplined following each other waiting for their turns.
As the day progressed, elder members started coming out and join the fun. We typically use the natural dry coloured powder (abir) and color each other until there is no space left.
The women community in our society is very active and always ahead. Enjoying the day to the fullest and also serving some nice food to make the day more pleasant.
The day marks the arrival of Spring in India, and reminds us that this is the end of winter. Usually the day becomes hotter from this day and watermelon was a perfect soothing choice to help us stay longer. And then various types of sweets and snacks - who does not want them !!
It definitely needs lot of preparation and kudos to the ladies for the treat - they ran out of stock very soon.
As the day progressed, more families joined the fun. We had a sound system set at the common area playing some loud music to compliment the event and encourage dancing - watch the video to see the fun. And its a fair game to color anyone - the kids would come and throw colors or spray from their big water guns - you have to be ready for that. If you can recognize yourself then you have not truly played Holi 😎.
Any little space left is an opportunity to add more color.
The fun continued for almost 3 hours with a perfect ending - a very nice treat at home from Anjalli Nani with some nice healthy food. The day was indeed colorful in all aspects - most importantly very well spent to take away stress of our daily life and cheer us, recharge us till the next event. And some of us attended a grand marriage in the evening, will post about it.
Holi is a grand festival having great cultural significance and as I said in my previous post, the festival is also celebrated in a grand way at Lord Jagannath's place. If you have not seen it earlier, check out this video to experience yourself.

I knew a few Facebook friends who celebrated this festival, it was always very colorful. I saw the way the kids were bathing themselves in water and color. Haha I hope it's paint that's easily removable. What a memorable time you all had.

Holi is a colorful and vibrant festival celebrated by the people of Hindu religion all around the world. It is also famous as the festival of love and colors. Festivals like this allow the families to come together and enjoy a good time with each other.
True that, its a perfect day to celebrate with love and colors.
Yes it is, Thanks for sharing this festival with all of us here on hive. @sanjeevm
a festival of colors where both children and adults enjoy a lot, even whole families participating makes everything even more great, besides ending everything with a good meal
Hi @sanjeevm... I have heard and seen so much about Holi festival although in Bolly movies. If I'm correct it's a festival of colours and also spreading love too amongst yourselves by throwing colours and so. I see other families joined yours too and it's must have been a very beautiful celebration together.
Thanks for sharing though.
Yes, it was a nice time spent.
That's beautiful. Happy Holi.
I belong to Pakistan and our people also celebrate holi with great enthusiasm, by the way, holi is a Hindu festival which is mostly celebrated in India, but there are many Hindus living in Pakistan too, so this event is also celebrated in Pakistan. I personally love this event because in it you do a lot of fun by throwing colors at each other. I have the most fun when the balloons are filled with colored water and hit each other۔
Oh that water balloons are real fun, though it takes a bit of time to make them. Now a days, its possible to get them with a bunch which gets filled at one shot.
First of all Happy Holi to you friend. Celebrating Holi, the festival of colours, is a very different kind of mood. And celebrating this festival with your family and friends is a different joy. And I am also very happy to see that you all celebrate this festival with great enthusiasm.
Happy Holi
it must have been very fun for you all both youths and adults participate in this festival. I love the happy faces in the pictures..
Happy Holi to you!

What a day. can't ask for anything better than this to rejuvenate. It's difficult to recognize from the colorful face and it's really an event that threads everyone in oneness. Holi is always special and it marks the beginning of summer here, what a festival always aligns with Nature. I hope you have had an unlimited celebration. Jai Jagannath.
Absolutely, to the fullest. Jai Jagannath.
Holi is a festival where all people forget their differences and come together and have a lot of fun.
Happy holi Friends.

👍🤛
yes friend if we add a little color and fun surely we will be much happier
Such a colorful positive holiday, well liberates and removes the negative. Everyone is so happy. Interestingly, the clothes are washed :)
I always use 5/6-year-old dress to play Holi. This time also I had to find a 7-year-old dress, funny thing is that it took almost an hour to explore an old dress.
What a lovely sight to behold. The entire society is in sync with this festival. A day to rejoice for sure.
Happy Holi once again.
You must be fit all along then, else 5/6 year old is hard to fit :)
So colorful! Everyone seemed having fun.
Thank you for holding virtualgrowth token. You have been included in today's post.
Oh wow what a celebration of Holi with the entire community coming to play together and eat.
True to the spirit of holi forgive and forget and celebrate together.
Wishing you a happy Holi
Life is colourful
Life is beautiful
Indeed, colors make our day
