Inspire Inc at the National Stadium
Inspire Inc’s annual phagwah celebrations held yesterday at the National Stadium Providence, saw a massive crowd of Guyanese in attendance.
Yog Mahadeo the brain child of the annual event in his address to the crowd told them “Inspire Inc is proud to remind you that Phagwah the festival of colors
is about harmony and unity.”
He further asked the crowd to take some powder and throw it in the air in memory of the Indian ancestors since this is 100 years since the abolition of indentureship.

Holi was also celebrated in grand style on the Lawns of the Indian Cultural Center in Bel Air Georgetown just around 12.00 noon yesterday with songs and dance performances by a number of groups.
The program hosted by the High Commission of India had in attendance persons from the Diplomatic corps, current and past Members of Parliament and President David Granger who made brief remarks.
Inews, as usual, your photographer Carl did a fantastic job.
I am really delighted to see politicians took time out and forget the politics and embraced each other.
Happy phagwah to all Guyanese.
