It is good to know that you liked the blog. I would suggest if must be there at least once in your life time. And as per people that the heritage is getting lost year after year so don’t wait till you get old. Just plan and go, don’t think twice.

An informative description about this annual festival celebrated all over India. It is especially enjoyed by children and many youngsters and elders too are game for it depending on whether they are used to it. The colors of the festivals depicts the colors of life with all its richness and vibrance. Nature too is at its best with new leaves coming and green seen all over. It is like life has taken a new birth. The atmosphere is electrifying and enjoyed by people of the country.
As suggested in the article the festival has many names in different parts of the country but the spirit is of freedom and celebration of life for what it is worth. Sweets and bhang too are served and so are functions held at many houses to celebrate the occasion. A festival which usually comes when children have exams but that does not seem to dampen their spirit and they seem eager to participate and have fun during the festival. That reflects the spirit of India.

Thank you Krishna for your input. It enriches the blog. I mainly covered the Holi observed at Shantiniketan which was started by great poet Rabindranath Tagore. Bhang is not served there. Also only Abeer (gulal) is used and no liquid/paint colour is used in that area. It is quite wll cultured and heritage kind of observation of Holi.
