The FMF Mirchi FM and Radio Fiji Two Non-Stop Holi Masti event held recently at the Damodar City Carpark in Suva drew a massive crowd, celebrating the vibrant festival of colors in a joyful atmosphere. Fijian Broadcasting Corporation’s Hindi Radio Manager, Ashneel Singh, expressed his enthusiasm for the overwhelming attendance and the strong engagement of the community.
Singh noted the transformation of Holi, once celebrated in homes or small circles, into grand public festivities, highlighting the need for people to appreciate its significance. “Our main purpose was to ensure that everyone understands the cultural importance of Holi, and I believe we have succeeded,” he remarked.
One of the standout aspects of this year’s celebration was the notable increase in participation from the younger generation, particularly in traditional activities such as chautaal. This resurgence of interest signifies a budding enthusiasm among the youth for cultural festivities, promoting unity among Fiji’s diverse communities.
Past celebrations have emphasized Holi’s role as a unifying festival, and this year was no different, as it showcased colorful performances and engaged attendees from various ethnic backgrounds. With themes of cooperation and hope at the core, the event not only provided entertainment but also reinforced communal ties among Fiji’s multicultural society.
As the festival continued to progress, attendees revelled in a shared spirit of joy, which exemplifies the warmth of community connections. This year’s Holi Masti event stands as a bright reminder of the power of cultural celebrations to bring people together and foster understanding amongst diverse groups, promoting a shared identity filled with love and respect.
