File Asaram
Bapu celebrates Holi with his devotees in Nagpur Nagpur:
Popular Indian seer Asaram Bapu played Holi with devotees at his ashram in
Nagpur city on Monday. Holi, which is celebrated to mark the triumph of good over
evil, would be celebrated across the country on March 11. Hundreds of devotees
gathered to celebrate the festivities with the seer as he sprinkled colours on
them. Devotees and followers danced to music and enjoyed every bit of the occasion.
On the occasion Asaram Bapu propagated the use of natural colour, as the artificial
colours available in the markets are toxic and harm people in many ways. "Palash
and marigold flowers should be dipped in water a day before Holi. They should
be boiled in the morning after adding a few drops of cooking oil and then Holi
should be played with this colour," he said. The festival of Holi brings together
people from all classes and age groups. People celebrate by distributing sweets,
taking out processions and dancing to the tunes of drums in a mélange of colours.
