Guest guest Posted February 22, 2001 Report Share Posted February 22, 2001 Dear List Members, I had asked if anyone knew of the upcoming holydays and festivals of India in the Months of March and April. My friend who asked me to find this information is leaving for India in a few days. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me with this. Also, does anyone know where one can find a fairly comprehensive Medical Karaka's list ?Namaste, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2001 Report Share Posted February 23, 2001 Holi is a festival of colours. Lot of splashing of colours take place on the roads and especially in the country side. So if your friend is not averse to mixing with local community, advise your friend to stay indoors especially on the holi day. regards, Manoj >yashrai >gjlist >gjlist >Re: [gjlist] Indian Holyday's and Medical Karaka's List >Fri, 23 Feb 2001 04:16:19 -0400 > >Here is some of the information that you asked for: >Important dates for March, 2001 >1.Holi Festival : March 3 to 9, a seasonal festival indicating change of >seasons. >2.
