Phagwah or Holi as it is commonly called is an annual Hindu Festival of Colours celebrating the arrival of Spring.
This Festival was brought to Guyana by our East Indian foreparents who first came to Guyana some 180 years ago. Phagwah is said to be the most joyous and colourful of festivals and today has become a part of our national psyche and is celebrated by all Guyanese.
