AS Phagwah, the much anticipated Festival of Colours approaches, the University of Guyana (UG) Hindu Society is pleased to invite the public to its Chowtal singing and sweet meat sale slated for today, at the Turkeyen Campus.

The Hindu Society will offer persons the opportunity to play Phagwah on the field and notes that Phagwah powder will be provided. However, participants can walk with their own.
The sweet meats sale begins at 13:30 hrs, while the Chowtal singing will commence at 14:30 hrs.

The Hindu Society on campus is said to provide a well-rounded religious and cultural support mechanism to students, while safeguarding, preserving, practising and promoting Hindu values.

Phagwah is an annual Hindu celebration that symbolises the triumph of good over evil as well as the colours of spring. People from different backgrounds across Guyana join their Hindu brothers and sisters for the annual celebrations.
Persons interested in being a part of the festivities can also attend the annual Phagwah Day event at the Everest Ground, Georgetown on March 25, 2024.
