After having to give Holi celebrations a miss in the last two years because of Covid 19 compulsions, the festival of colours is being observed with great fervour this year all across the country and, also, by the Indian diaspora abroad. The festival celebrates the eternal and divine love of Radha-Krishna and also signifies the triumph of good over evil. People from all parts of the country celebrate the colourful festival, which includes the traditional practices of playing with vibrant coloured powders (Gulaal) and having sweets like ‘Gujiya’.

Just like in the past, this year, too, civil servants in different parts of the country observed the auspicious festival and shared their wishes and pictures on social media. We curated a list of such messages, pictures and videos for you!

First up, is an IAS officer from Haryana, who is currently serving as the Municipal Commissioner of Hisar. Mr. Ashok Garg celebrated this Holi with the underprivileged children of an NGO called ‘Prayas Sansthan’. The officer shared a post on Facebook and described how he had fun playing holi with the children.

#Foresters in Law & Order role, away from their families, ensuring secure #Holi for rest of us.

बिना भेद के रंग लगाना,
होली की है रीत
बैर मिटा कर सारे तुम,
दिल में बस रखना प्रीत!

रंगों के अप्रतिम पर्व होली की आप सबको हार्दिक बधाई!

होली खेलिये, फाग गाइये, जीवन को एक नये रंग से भर दीजिये।

आज निवास पर साथियों और नागरिकों के साथ "होली मिलन" का आनंद दोगुना हो गया।#HappyHoli pic.twitter.com/v4ER16g3Ba

आज बिरज में होरी रे रसिया,
होरी रे रसिया, बरजोरी रे रसिया।
कृष्ण के हाथ कनक पिचकारी,
राधा के हाथ कमोरी रे रसिया।

उड़त गुलाल लाल भये बादर,
केशर रंग में घोरी रे रसिया।
‘चन्द्रसखी’ भज बाल कृष्ण छबि,
जुग-जुग जीयौ यह जोरी रे रसिया।#HappyHoli pic.twitter.com/cjubErs3pi

Holi ke din dil khil jaate hain,
Rangon mein rang mil jaate hain.
Gile shikawe bhul ke doston,
Dushman bhi gale mil jaate hain. #Holi2022 pic.twitter.com/4i4w0KdL0n
