Holi, the festival of colors, is being celebrated with great joy in the districts of the Terai today. The day after Phagu Purnima is celebrated in the Himalayan and hilly districts, this festival is being celebrated with great joy in the Terai districts today as per the tradition of celebrating Holi in this region.

Holi is being celebrated with special importance in Nawalparasi (East of Bardaghat Susta), where the Magar and Tharu communities are densely settled. Holi, which burns all kinds of differences and makes everyone dance with colors, is considered a festival of joy and color.
Pandit Trilochan Bhurtel said that the Holi festival, which paints everyone in the same color, has been an inspiration for equality and harmony. “Holi, a symbol of truth over falsehood, innocence over deceit, and the victory of religion over unrighteousness, has been maintaining unity in diversity,” he said. “Holi has a special role in providing social harmony and enthusiasm along with its religious significance.”
Bhurtel said that this festival, which was established as a spring festival in ancient times, was celebrated with the names of Prahlad, Krishna, Holika, Dhundha, etc., and was later celebrated by the names of Phagu, Phaguwa, Holi, Hori, etc. This festival has its own dignity of color, dancing, eating, entertainment, and coloring others with your own color, playing drums, drums, and mridangams, and increasing the feeling of brotherhood by abandoning discrimination and selfishness.
Although Monday was declared a public holiday in the hilly districts, today is a public holiday in the Terai districts. Yubaraj Khadka, Superintendent of Police at the District Police Office, said that a special security plan has been implemented to make the Holi festival dignified, safe, and peaceful in Nawalparasi (Bardaghat Sustapur). "We will bring those who apply color without permission, throw lola, make unnecessary noise, quarrel, and engage in indecent behavior to justice," he said.
