Happy and Colorful Holi Wishes

Holi festival is celebrated towards the end of the month of Phalguna, according to the Hindu calendar.

Holi is a festival of colors that captivates the hearts of millions across India and beyond. The first day of the festival, when a bonfire is lit to signify the burning of demoness Holika, is held on the evening of Purnima.

Holi Celebrations

Holi signifies the triumph of good over evil, the arrival of spring, and brings joy to life. This exuberant festival is a time for friends and family to come together, smear each other with colors, and revel in the spirit of unity and joy.

Wishing everyone, Happy Holi 2024

Preparations for the two-day festival begin weeks in advance, with streets adorned with vibrant decorations and markets bustling with shoppers purchasing colored powders ( Gulal ), water guns and sweets.

Traditional songs and rhythmic beats of drums set the mood, and festivities commence with the throwing of colors. Faces and clothes are soon transformed into kaleidoscopes of vibrant hues as revellers drench each other in Gulal (colored powder) and water.

One of the highlights of Holi is the sense of camaraderie it fosters.

On this day, social barriers dissolve as people from all walks of life join in the celebrations, embracing each other with warmth and affection. Strangers become friends, and old grievances are forgiven amidst the laughter and merriment.

The joy of Holi extends beyond just colors – it is also a time for indulging in delicious delicacies like ‘Gujiyas’, a sweet dumpling filled with khoya (a milk product), and ‘Thandai’, a refreshing drink infused with nuts and spices, are among the traditional treats enjoyed during the festivities.

May this Holi Festival mark the beginning of a new phase of your life, filled with success, prosperity, and unlimited happiness.

Shaheed Diwas is not just a day of remembrance but also a day of inspiration.

It is a reminder that one person’s sacrifice can inspire many others to make similar sacrifices for their country.

It is a day to remember that one person’s sacrifice can change the course of history and it is a day to be reminded that we all have the power to make a difference in the world.

Shaheed Diwas is observed on a number of occasions in India. Besides March 23, the day Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated, January 30, is also marked as Shaheed Diwas.

Happy Republic Day – 75th Year in being

We, Indians are celebrating India’s 75th Republic Day today. ie. 26-January-2024

Today’s Kartavya Path parade highlights various tableaus that show India’s rich tradition, cultural heritage, spectacles of the nation’s progress and achievements and also airshows by the Indian Army, Indian Navy and Indian Air Force.

Dr BR Ambedkar, the chief architect of the Indian Constitution, had said, “Constitution is not a mere lawyers document, it is a vehicle of life and its spirit is always the spirit of Age” and to commemorate the adoption of this constitution of our country’ in 1950. Hence, the celebration of republic day.

The erstwhile govt’s motive for picking 26 January as Indian Republic Day is that on this very day in 1929, the statement of Indian Independence was declared (Purna Swaraj) by the Indian National Congress. The newly independent Constituent Assembly of India concluded the Constitution of India on 26 November 1949, under supervision of Dr. B R Ambedkar. Hence, this glorious act came into influence on 26 January 1950.

We should remember that the Constitution of India is a colossal record, which sets down techniques, powers, obligations, central privileges and order standards of the Public authority of India and Indian residents. The main rule of the Indian Constitution is “Of the people, For the people and By the people”; it signifies the power possession of the residents of India.

Republic Day denotes the celebration of the strengthening of Indian residents to choose their government. It is a public holiday which remembers the course of the foundation of the Indian Constitution.

Never Forget Our Heroes, who sacrificed their lives for India,
to bring up this glorious day, Happy Republic Day!!

Our heads bow in unison to our Indian flag and wish all our customers, partners, system integrators and resellers. Happy 75th Republic Day of India.

Makar Sankranti, Uttarayan, Pongal, Lohri, Bihu

India has always been a land of diverse cultural identities. Every culture has its own festivals which are of great significance. A few such festivals like Lohri, Makar Sankranti, Pongal and Magh Bihu are celebrated in the month of January. Each of them has its own history and significance.

Lohri:

Lohri is an Indian festival of great traditional significance. It is celebrated a day before Makar Sankranti, where people pray and celebrate around a bonfire. The festival is primarily celebrated in the northern parts of India with great energy and spirit. It is also known as the ‘festival of harvest’, wherein farmers celebrate singing folk songs and mark the end of the sowing season.

Tales from Punjab mention the legend of Dulla Bhatti, a hero who led a rebellion against the Mughal Empire. His acts of bravery made him so famous in Punjab that almost every Lohri song mentions his name.

Makar Sankranti, Uttarayan, Pongal, Lohri, Magh Bihu in 2024
Makar Sankranti, Uttarayan, Pongal, Lohri, and Magh Bihu in 2024

Makar Sankranti, Uttarayan:

Makar Sankranti, also known as Maghi, is a Hindu festival which is celebrated across India in different cultural forms with great devotion and fervour. The festival marks the start of longer days and is usually celebrated in the second week of January. This festival marks the end of the winter and the start of longer days.

It is known by various names in different parts of the country. In Gujarat, it is also known as Uttarayan, the kite-flying festival. An all-mashed-up vegetable dish called ‘Undhiyo’ is prepared as part of the festivities, which also include bonfires, kite flying, and feasts.

Pongal:

Originated as a Dravidian harvest festival, which was celebrated as Thai Un and Thai Niradal, the history of Pongal dates back to around 2000 years.

Makar Sankranti is followed by Pongal, which is a four-day-long harvest festival celebrated in India and is associated with the tradition of crop harvesting. This festival usually falls in the month of January, when crops like rice, turmeric, and sugarcane are harvested. The festival is widely celebrated in Tamil Nadu.

This year, Pongal will be celebrated from January 14 to January 17, 2024.

According to a legend, Lord Shiva once asked his bull, Basava, to go to the earth and ask humans to have an oil massage and bath every day and to eat once a month. Basava mistakenly announced that Shiva has asked people to eat daily and have an oil massage and bath once a month. Enraged, Shiva banished Bavasa to live on earth forever. He would have to plough the fields to help people produce more food. Thus, this day is associated with cattle.

Bihu:

Magh Bihu is when the annual harvest takes place in Assam. People celebrate Rongali Bihu to mark the beginning of the Assamese New Year and the end of the harvest season.

Indian culture has its own festivals that have great significance in our lives. Be it freshness of Pongal, the fire of Lohri, the fervor of Uttarayan or Makar Sankranti, and festivity of Bihu.

May the spirit of festivals unite us in a happy, humble, and human way.

Blossom Inc. wishes everyone a harmonious festive time!!
