HOLI COW 2011
Although officially in its 3rd year, Holi Cow Festival has been around for over 5 years. What started out as a small, 'underground' festival, celebrating Holi with music and art, has become one of the biggest festivals of its kind. From 5 artistes and a small audience of 85 people, the festival now attracts over 50 artistes and over 4000 revelers from all parts of the World. Holi Cow Festival started with the idea of creating a happy eco-system of artistes and art lovers who want to celebrate and express their love and passion freely without commercial compulsions. That is the reason that most artistes have volunteered to perform every year without their commercial fees. This year Holi Cow goes fatter. Instead of a single days celebrations, plans are afoot to bring in the madness 1 month in advance spread across 15 events of music, art, fashion, puppetry, theater, poetry, video art, walks, gourmet, photography etc leading up to Holi. Plans are also being chalked out to have a Holi Cow Parade with public art installations, Holi Cow HoHo Bus Gigs, Holi Cow Hush Mobbing, Holi Cow Old City Walks, Holi Cow Wall Project etc. The guests who attended the amazing fest were Julian Parr, Nida Mahmood, Nitin Bal Chauhan, Joy Mitra and many more. The festive was hyped with 3 musical stage that kept the people grounded to the theme. All drenched in colours & soaked in the pond grooved to the festive mood.
