In a post on X, PM Modi wrote, “Heartfelt Holi greetings to all my fellow citizens. May this festival, brimming with colours and exuberance, bring a shower of joy to everyone. May every life be sprinkled with the hues of happiness, prosperity, and success—this is my heartfelt wish.”
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami also greeted the people of the state, highlighting Holi’s role in fostering unity and togetherness.
On X, Dhami said, “Heartfelt greetings and best wishes to all residents on the joyous festival of Holi. This festival spreads the colours of unity, love, harmony, and brotherhood. May it bring happiness, prosperity, and well-being into all your lives.”
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla extended greetings as well, calling Holi a “vibrant expression of our rich culture, traditions, and brotherhood.” He added that the festival unites people across India.
“Our country is diverse, yet the celebration of Holi binds us together in a thread of unity and brotherhood. On this Holi, let us pledge to fill our society with the colours of love, peace, and harmony, sharing joy with those who may be alone or in need,” Birla said.
Holi, rooted in Hindu mythology, symbolizes the triumph of good over evil. The festival begins with Holika Dahan, the lighting of a bonfire, followed by the playful throwing of colours the next day.
This year, Holi is being celebrated over two days. Western India, including Mumbai and Gujarat, began festivities on March 3, while North India will mark the main celebrations on March. (Agency)
