On the 29th of March, the Prime Minister of India extended wishes for Holi to the citizens of India.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to his Twitter handle and wished for a prosperous Holi. He said, “Wishing you all a very happy Holi. This festival of joy, happiness, laughter and glee should infuse new vigour and new energy into everyone’s life.”
The celebration marks the arrival of the spring harvest season in the country. People celebrate the festival by binging on some lip-smacking sweets, thandai and splash coloured powder, water, and balloons while chanting “Holi Hai”.
However, public celebrations in most states across the country have been prohibited amid the recent surge in COVID-19 cases.
