PANJIM: After two years of subdued festivities, Holi, the festival of colours, was celebrated with mirth and gaiety in the State on Friday.
The major celebration was held at Azad Maidan by the Panjim Shigmotsav Samiti wherein the venue was decorated by the committee members who took the blessings of Goddess Mahalaxmi before starting the celebration.
Utpal Parrikar, newly re-elected Panjim MLA Babush Monserrate, St Cruz MLA Rodolfo Fernandes, former Panjim MLA Siddharth Kuncalienker, a few CCP councillors took part in the celebration along with hundreds of people enjoying the beat of music.
Extending the warm wishes, Utpal said, “Happy to see all the Panjimities celebrating festival of colours together by forgetting all the arguments that had happened during the time of election”.
For the last two years, Holi festivities had remained subdued amid the coronavirus pandemic as people exercised caution and avoided mass gatherings.
