March 04, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, extended his heartfelt greetings to the people of the country on the occasion of Holi. He wished that this festival of colours and joy brings happiness, prosperity and success into everyone’s lives.

The Prime Minister said that the festival of Holi fills the entire atmosphere with new energy, which is its greatest speciality. He noted that the vibrant colours of happiness visible everywhere during the festival immerse everyone in a spirit of joy and celebration.

The Prime Minister also shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam-

उद्भिन्नस्तबकावतंससुभगाः प्रे खन्मरुन्नर्तिताः
पुष्पोद्गीर्णपरागपांशुललसत्पत्रप्रकाण्ड त्विषः।

गम्भीरक्रमपञ्चमोन्मदपिकध्वानोच्छलद्गीतयः
प्रत्युज्जीवितमन्मथोत्सव इव क्रीडन्त्यमू भूरुहः॥

The Shubhashitam conveys that Like beautiful lotus flowers, blossoming under the mesmerizing dance of the spring breeze, adorned with vibrant colors and fragrance, the glorious celebration of love flourishes exuberantly, filled with joyful melodies that awaken life itself.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“सभी देशवासियों को होली की अनंत शुभकामनाएं। रंग और उमंग से भरा यह त्योहार सबके लिए खुशियों की बहार लेकर आए। हर किसी के जीवन में सुख-समृद्धि और सफलता के रंगों की बौछार हो, यही कामना है।”

“होली का त्योहार पूरे माहौल में नई ऊर्जा भर देता है। यही इस उत्सव की बड़ी विशेषता है। हर तरफ जिस प्रकार खुशियों के रंग बिखरे नजर आते हैं, वो हर किसी को उल्लास और आनंद से सराबोर कर जाता है।

उद्भिन्नस्तबकावतंससुभगाः प्रे खन्मरुन्नर्तिताः
पुष्पोद्गीर्णपरागपांशुललसत्पत्रप्रकाण्ड त्विषः।

गम्भीरक्रमपञ्चमोन्मदपिकध्वानोच्छलद्गीतयः
