THE AFC extends best wishes to the Hindu community of Guyana on the occasion of Phagwah, the spring festival. Traditionally associated with the triumph of good over evil, Phagwah welcomes the spring season and offers prayers for good harvests and fertility of the land.The festival is also one of bright colours, good food and even romance. In Guyana, the term “playing Phagwah” is often used to describe participation in the Phagwah festivities, and this is perhaps an indication of the fun, merriment and exuberance that mark the celebration of this holiday which all Guyanese look forward to and enjoy year after year. As such the AFC wishes all Guyanese a happy Phagwah day.
