Good to see the CM promoting natural colours and our cultural heritage. The Go Vatsa Phag troupe from Fatehpur is a real treasure. More such events are needed to keep our traditions alive for the younger generation.

As someone who has attended Holi in Rajasthan before, the energy is incredible. It's fantastic that the leadership is actively participating and not just making an appearance. The focus on harmony is the message we all need.

While the celebration looks great, I hope the same enthusiasm is shown in addressing the water scarcity issues in the state, especially before Holi when water misuse peaks. Festivals are important, but so is responsible governance.

Bhajan troupes and folk songs... this is the real Rajasthan! Glad the CM joined in the Phalgun songs. This is how a leader should connect - not from a distant stage, but right in the middle of the people. Bura na mano, Holi hai!
