The Indian Arrival Committee (IAC) is supporting the call by the Hindu Community of Guyana for the festival of Holi (Phagwah) to maintain its sacred form and be respected.
The IAC has noted that over the last few years, some entertainment promoters use Phagwah to encourage undesirable practices and have associated the sale of alcohol with the festival.
The Committee, which has in the past denounced such practices, is again calling for “guilty promoters” to desist from indulging in such activities which bring much disrespect to the Hindu community.
The IAC annual Phagwah Mela will be held at its usual venue at the Bath Settlement Community Centre Ground on March 1, 2010, commencing at 14:00 hrs.
The organisation said the event provides an opportunity for Guyanese to gather and participate in this rich colourful festival in an environment that is free from alcohol and gambling.
The cultural programme will feature leading Guyanese entertainers.
