Fuldolotsav celebrations were held in the presence of His Divine Holiness Acharya Swamishree at Maninagar on Monday 20th March 2000.
Fuldolotsav (holi) is considered as being the spring festival of India. The cold winter months would have gone and the trees and flowers would have just started sprouting. The harvests of corn would have been completed. And too celebrate, gulal (coloured powder) is sprinkled and coloured water is sprayed over everyone. People are seen dancing in the streets throwing the colour over everyone.
Fuldolotsav celebrations were held in the presence of His Divine Holiness Acharya Swamishree at Maninagar on Monday 20th March 2000. The supreme Lord Swaminarayan can be seen armed with a water pistol, ready to spray the coloured water over all. In turn, His Holiness Swamishree lovingly showered the Lord with colour. This divine prasadi, the coloured water and powder was sprayed over all the sants and disciples by Acharya Swamishree, as they danced in the elaborately decorated Temple compound.
His Divine Holiness Acharya Swamishree Purushottampriyadasji Maharaj is the spiritual leader of Maninagar Shree Swaminarayan Gadi Sansthan. He is the current and fifth heir in the lineage of ascetic Acharyas, which descends directly from Lord Shree Swaminarayan. He is the incumbent Acharya of Shree Swaminarayan Gadi.
