Holi, or Phagwa as it’s known in Suriname, holds a special place in our hearts as one of our favorite festivals. Niko’s first Phagwa experience in 2019, just before the pandemic, left a lasting impression. Now, with Nate joining the festivities, I organized an indoor Phagwa party using their mud kitchen, adorned with colorful gulal (Holi powder), tinted water, and festive decorations.

The indoor Phagwa celebration was a burst of vibrant colors and pure fun for the kids! They gleefully immersed themselves in the playful exploration of various colored powders, joyously throwing them around. While the aftermath left us with a messy mud kitchen, a colored floor, and delightfully stained clothes, the priceless smiles on their faces made it a cherished and unforgettable celebration of Holi.
