Himachal Pradesh CM Sukhu inaugurates Sujanpur Holi festival
According to officials, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu opened the four-day national-level Sujanpur Tira Holi celebration on Sunday. The chief minister also offered puja at the historic Radhe Krishna temple, seeking blessings for his family and the state’s people. Thousands of men, women, and children had come from all around the three districts to celebrate this special occasion.
Sujanpur Tira’s Holi has been celebrated since ancient times. Nonetheless, it rose to prominence when the Katoch kings of the Kangra hills designated this town as their sub-capital and Raja Sansar Chand assumed control of the country. Raja Sansar Chand was fond of playing Holi with his courtiers and their families and would invite them all to his forts, where a small tank was built.
