S.S. Rana & Co. celebrates Holi
Holi is
a spring festival in India, also known as the festival of
colours or the festival of sharing love. Holi is a two-day festival which
starts on the Purnima (Full Moon day) falling in the Bikram Sambat Hindu
Calendar month of Falgun, which falls somewhere between the end of
February and the middle of March in the Gregorian calendar.
Holi celebrations start
on the night before Holi with a Holika bonfire where people gather,
do religious rituals in front of the bonfire, and pray that their internal evil
should be destroyed as the bonfire starts. The next morning is celebrated
as ‘Rangwali Holi’ - a
free-for-all carnival of colours, where participants play, chase and
colour each other with dry powder and coloured water, with some carrying water
guns and coloured water-filled balloons for their water fight.
We at S.S. Rana &
Co keeping in line with our traditions also celebrated this day with much
enthusiasm. To celebrate this day an event was organized where our traditions
and our rich cultural heritage were celebrated. After the small ceremony, all the employees, consultants,
staff and paralegals assembled in a common ground to participate in the
festival of colors, where participants colored each other’s faces with dry organic
colors.
