হোলি বসন্তৰ উৎসৱ। এইটো ৰঙৰো উৎসৱ। এই উৎসৱে আমাক আনন্দ দিয়ে। হোলীৰ সময়ত মায়ে আমাৰ বাবে মিঠাই প্রস্তুত কৰে। আমি আমাৰ বন্ধু-বান্ধৱ আৰু আত্মীয়ৰ সৈতে আবিৰ সলনি কৰোঁ। এয়া ভালপোৱাৰ প্ৰকাশ। আমি আমাৰ বয়োজ্যেষ্ঠসকলকো আবিৰ দিওঁ। এইটো তেওঁলোকৰ প্ৰতি দেখুওৱা সন্মান। আমি ক্ষতিকাৰক ৰঙৰ পৰা আঁতৰ থকা উচিত। ভাল আবিৰ ব্যৱহাৰ কৰা উচিত।
ভগৱান শ্ৰীকৃষ্ণই বৃন্দাবনত হোলী খেলিছিল। তেওঁ ৰাধা আৰু অন্য সংগীৰ সৈতে খেলিছিল। আমি বসন্তকালৰ পূৰ্ণিমা দিনটোত হোলী পালন কৰোঁ। মানুহে ভক্তি আৰু ভালপোৱাৰ সৈতে হোলী খেলিব লাগে। ই আমাক সুখ প্ৰদান কৰে।
আবিৰ – হোলীত ব্যৱহৃত এক প্ৰকাৰৰ ৰঙীন গুড়া, যাক অসমীয়া ভাষাত সাধাৰণতে ‘ফাকু’ বুলি কোৱা হয়।
