Hi ! It’s festival time here….Today we are celebrating Holi in Kullu, though Holi will be celebrated tomorrow all over India but in Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh it is a tradition to celebrate Holi a day before the main Holi day.
Holi is one of the biggest festivals of India. It is celebrated with enthusiasm and gaiety on the full moon day in the month of Phalgun which is the month of March as per the Gregorian calendar. What makes Holi so special is the spirit of love and fraternity between people all over the country and across the globe, wherever it is celebrated.
Entire country wears a festive look during Holi celebration. Market places get abuzz with activity as frenzied shoppers start making preparations for the festival. Heaps of various hues of gulal and abeer can be seen on the roadside days before the festival. Sprinklers in innovative and modern design too come up every year to lure the children who wish to collect them as Holi memorabilia and of course, to drench everybody around.
A sheetlet on Children’s Day was issued in 2002 featuring festival of Holi.
