A wonderful\u00a0manifestation\u00a0of &#8216;Unity in Diversity&#8217; that we grew up reading about in our school text books. The &#8216;Hum Saath Saath Hain&#8217; saga played out on a country-wide scale.<\/p>\n<p>Since most festival dates are based on lunar cycles, it looks like there is some divine celestial intervention here, conspiring to bring about this glorious intermingling of various man-made religious orders. A gentle reminder perhaps that the heavens did not differentiate, it was us who dreamt up our differences.<\/p>\n<p>Philosophy aside though, there is much joy to be gleaned on these holy, and holi, celebrations, open to all.
