What You Missed As Holi Festival Brings Life At Kampala’s KCCA Grounds With Joyful Revelry

The KCCA Grounds in Kampala came alive with vibrant hues as the Rajasthani Association, in collaboration with the Indian Association of Uganda and supported by the Indian High Commission and Kansai Plascon, orchestrated a jubilant celebration of the traditional Hindu Festival of Colors, Holi. Drawing a crowd of over 5000 attendees from various backgrounds, the event showcased the rich cultural tapestry of the Indian community, fostering unity and diversity.

Holi, steeped in symbolism representing the victory of good over evil and the advent of spring, served as the backdrop for a spirited gathering. Children and youth gleefully partook in the festivities, engaging in playful exchanges of colorful powders such as ‘gulal,’ while adults adorned each other’s faces with ‘abir,’ evoking camaraderie and merriment. The ambiance was further enhanced by the presence of delectable Indian culinary delights, adding flavor to the festivities.

A highlight of the occasion was the raffle draw, offering attendees the chance to win coveted prizes, including televisions and a return ticket to Mumbai, India. Plascon’s Brand Manager, Daniel Kayongo, had the pleasure of awarding the prizes, expressing his enthusiasm for supporting community-driven initiatives like Holi.

Reflecting on the significance of the partnership and the celebration of Holi, Daniel Kayongo remarked, “Plascon Uganda takes great pride in being a part of this dynamic Holi celebration, embodying the essence of unity and joy. We are dedicated to giving back to the communities we serve, and events like these provide a wonderful platform to do just that.”
