Holi Fest

Yesterday was an auspicious day to Hindus in general and Vaishnavites in particular. It was celebrated as Holi Pournima. I think that today is celebrated as Holi with festivities to commemorate the Divine pastimes of Lord Shree Krishna, an Avataar of Shree Mahaa Vishnu, in many regions of India and on a global scale in all regions with Hindu population.

As a person who worked in Bhutan for a few years, I have always shared an interest in the region including countries such as Nepal, with strong historic ties with India (besides the important fact that Nepal is the birth place of Seethaa Devi, consort of Lord Shree Raam, an Avataar of Shree Mahaa Vishnu). I had the joy of viewing thid year's Holi Fest on Nepal 1 TV Channel.
