Holi-2012@SewaKunj

Holi with children! Boys at Sewa Kunj celebrated Holi with songs, worship and rejoiced by pouring colour on each other. Just after prayer early in the morning all gathered at one place with musical instruments. They started their Holi with Kirtan and Bhajan. Some of them were so verse in raising boli that others started dancing, clapping on the platform. The moment one stopped singing, the sound of clapping started diminishing, children were about to stop dancing, then some other students raised more emphatic bhajan leading all again in action. All looked very happy and in rejoicing mood. This continued for two hours till they became exhausted and went for taking breakfast. 

Just after breakfast all gathered at shiv mandir, worshiped lord shiva and poured two buckets of color over him and then started pouring, throwing colour on each other. Some are fleeing, others are chasing with color. Some boys were rubbing dry color on face giving look of ghost. Again some started beating plates, some are singing and the rest were jumping and dancing. Some elders from nearby village came and rejoiced us with songs.
   As usual all moved to the village where people were eagerly waiting to welcome us with color and some eatables. Villagers were drunk, but they rejoiced with us in cultured way. At the end following the tradition all gathered at the place where Holi was started by burning heap of twigs previous night. They worshiped God and aired the ash.
Holi is a festival of joy, reunion shedding all the grudges of the past for each other. All meet with each with smiling face, wishing well being of each other. On returning we all met to our acquaintance put some abir on their forehead and hugged each other.
