Holi Poem by Hans Raj Sharma

Holy India
A wonderful
Land of festivals
As ancient
As its history
Inhabited by
A huge variety
Of people
Having
Their faith
In different
Religions
And from diverse
Cast, colour
And creed
Reflecting
Its unity
In diversity.

The Holi
Main festival
Of India
A blend
Of colours
And variety
Denoting
The unity
Of its cultural
Heritage and
Heavenly virtues
Besides its
Religious worth.

Vibgyor-
As if taken from
Colour-scheme of
‘Inder Dhanush’
Piercing weapon
Of ‘Inderdeva’
The god of rain
In Indian legends.

Symbolizing
All the virtuous
Colours
As derived from
Mother Nature
For happiness
And prosperity
In the lives of
All living beings.
