Hello everybody!
The other day in our
english lesson we talk about the Holi festival.
The holi festival is a
very ancient festival celebrated all over India, but there is a small village
called Barsana were the Holi festival is celebrated in a special way. Barsana
has approximately 9000 inhabitants but when the Holi festival takes place
thousands of pilgrims and tourists came to the village and take part in the
celebrations.
The Holi festival is a
religious festival, it is said that the god Krishna from the Hindu religion
lived in the area of Barsana and playfully pointed his sweetheart’s face with
colours.
People prepare small
packets of coloured powders that they toss at all the strangers and friends
around them and there is live music everywhere.
In the evening all
participants change their coloured clothes into fresh, new outfits. They visit
friends and relatives at their houses and eat sweets there.
My opinion about the
Holi festival is, that it is a festival which sounds really spectacular and
amusing and if I get a chance to participate in this festival, I will take it.
What do you think
about this festival? Please write your personally thoughts in the comments.
Regards
Jakob
Wow, I didn't know there was a specific location Holi originated in! And we wouldn't say 'personally mind,' maybe 'opinion' or 'thoughts' in the closing sentence.
