The Vermont Bhutanese Association Invites you to the:

Holi Milan Festival

When: Sunday, February 28, 2010
Time: 1:00 pm
Where: Battery Park, Burlington, Vermont


Sunday, February 28

Pundit—Dilli Ram Dahal

Battery Park, Burlington Vermont

1:00 pm Holi Songs (bring your own CDs)
1:15 pm Bhajans
1:30 pm Arathi
1:45 pm Sharing of fresh fruit (grapes, apples, oranges)
2:00 pm Celebration with dry colors (provided – donations requested)


The festival does not recognize any bars of caste, class, tribe or creed! Drenched in colors, every¬body comes to resemble each other, losing their original self. This is the beauty of this festival. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that this festival treats everybody at par. All differences dissolve in the colors that flow in plenty! Let this festival give everyone an opportunity to come together in peace and harmony. Allow the magic of Holi Milan to conjure up love and brotherhood for everyone in the community.
