Information for Participants:

To participate in the program, please contact obhajan@yahoo.com or jogaevants@gmail.com or call any of the contact numbers given in this webpage by March 9, 2019.

All the cultural programs have Odia language requirement except classical dances and instrumental music.

We invite all the Odias around the Washington DC region, Maryland, Virginia to come and enjoy the holi program. We also invite Odias from nearby states such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, Delaware and New Jersey to join us if possible. If possible please share with us your talents on any aspects of cultural categories such as singing, music, dance, drama, writing, arts etc.

We also request everybody to be timely. In that way we not only can save other's time, but also our time. But time management is a community effort; a single person or five, ten people cannot do it unless everybody makes it a rule and cooperates.

You are encouraged to bring your "bimAna" with your deities to participate in the Hori procession.
