Holi Function at Dwarkadhish Temple


It was just recently that I happened to visit this Dwarkadhish temple with my family. It was my most memorable moment, after coming to the United States of America. The temple has a huge space, which can accommodate thousands of people

It is surprising to know that people celebrate Holi out here with the same Indian touch and with the same passion they celebrate back home .We played holi for sometimes with dry colors. Mainly gulal.was used as the main color Water was not used at all. In the evening there was this Bonfire litted. We all did the pradikshana around the bonfire and seeked Gods blessings People say that when the bonfire is lit all the devils die in it and there is peace everywhere around the place.

After the bonfire we had dinner at the temple. Puri, Chole ,Rice and potato subji was served . It was also surprising to know that the entire function was sponsored by the members of the temple The place was crowded so much that there was no space left to move around.

It was indeed a pleasant experience all together :)
