Holi

Holi is known as the festival of colors. It is one of the most important festivals in India. Although Holi is a Hindu festival that is celebrated each year with zeal and enthusiasm in the month of March, different religions join and make it a multi-colored festival. Everyone, including children, eagerly wait for the Holi festival every year eagerly to play with colors and have mouth-watering dishes.

Holi is about celebrating happiness with friends and family. People forget their troubles and indulge in this festival to celebrate brotherhood. In other words, we forget our differences and indulge in the festive spirit. Holi is called the festival of colors because people play with colors and apply them to each other’s faces to get colored in the essence of the festival. 

Future Events

This was the first festive celebration organized by BJAI and now the committee is already planning to organize more fun-filled activities where both adults, as well as children, can participate actively. The BJAI committee would highly appreciate any help and support in organizing the event.

In order to sponsor any BJAI event, please contact Dr. Deepak Kumar – President BJAI, Mr. Rakesh Kumar Shekhar – Secretary BJAI, or Mr. Abhishek Thakur – Treasurer BJAI.
