Holla Mohalla at Anandpur Sahib from March 23 to 28

Posted on Tuesday, 19 March 2013 by Punjabi Articles

Holla Mohalla is a Sikh festival that is celebrated every year in the month of March, a day after Holi. The annual festival held at Anandpur Sahib in Punjab was started by the tenth Sikh Guru, Gobind Singh. It is essentially a gathering of Sikhs for military exercises and mock battles on the day following the festival of Holi.

Holla Mohalla derives its name from Punjabi word Mohalla which implies an organised procession in the form of an army column, accompanied by war drums and standard-bearers, and proceeding to a given location or moving from one Gurdwara to another. Holla Mohalla is celebrated as a reminder of the valour and defence preparedness of the Sikhs. These were the concepts dear to the Tenth Guru who was at that time battling the Mughal Empire. 

Holla Mohalla is a community festival where people can come together and remember the Valor of Sikhs who battled for Punjab. The festival begins with the prayer in the Gurudwara and later Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikhs’ Holy Book, is taken out for ritual bath with milk and water. 

During the evening, visitors can witness a martial arts performance by the Nihang Sikhs, identifiable by their blue attire, turbans and multiple weapons brandished. They perform daring stunts with swords and, recreate battles. Watching such amazing stunts can really take one’s breath away.

Dher saari mithai aur mitha mitha pyar laayi,
Aap ki zindagi ho mithe pyar aur khusiyon se bhari,

Jisme samaaye saaton rang yahi shubhkamna hai hamaari.

Plan about how not to play Holi this time to prevent eye, skin infections

Posted on Monday, 5 March 2012 by Punjabi Articles


Ever thought why you had a tough time removing the ‘pakka rang’ that your naughty neighbour threw on you last Holi? Remember getting wet on your way to office while you passed through a street and children aimed water balloons at you?

You must be all set to enjoy the festival of colours on March 8 and must have also planned how to play it. But it is time we planned about how not to play Holi.

MM Behl, convenor of the Joint Action Committee, has been playing Holi without water for the past three years. Giving him company in his noble endeavour are Panchwati Nagar Welfare Society president Janak Raj Garg and chairman Bhushan Agarwal.

“It was three years back that we came together and decided to play Holi without wasting any water. The area is anyway suffering from water shortage and the residents of the city should give thought to ways of water conservation. We play ‘Tilak Holi’, which is essentially dry Holi with the use of herbal colours. Herbal colours are easy to remove and one doesn’t have to take bath twice to remove the colours.
