and represents the birth anniversary of Rama. The occasion is also used
to perform SEETHA KALYAN or VIVAH at the Temple.

 According to the national calendar of India, Varsha Pratipada is the first day of the national calendar. Varsha Pratipada is also known as Gudi Padvo or Ugadi and falls at the beginning of spring on the first day of the month of Chaitra, which falls in April. Spring or Vasanta Ritu traditionally brings optimism, hope and assurance to people about the future as it represents renewal. As Varsha Pratipada represents the beginning of a new year, it is also a time for self-reflection.

 Holi is the most colourful festival in the Hindu calendar and falls on
the full moon day in the month of Phalgun, which this year is Saturday
3rd March 2007. This festival of joy, mirth and buoyancy is celebrated
when both man and nature cast off their winter gloom. Holi heralds the
arrival of spring, the season of hope and new beginnings and marks the
rekindling of the spirit of life. After staying indoors during the cold
months of winter, people emerge out to see a new sparkling world of
colour and life. |
