gets
to
celebrate
a
host
of

as
his

‘As
the
vibrant
hues
of

celebrated
across
our
diverse
land.
May
this
season

and
hope

‘Whether
it’s
the
golden
glow
of
the
Vishukkani,
the
rhythmic
beats
of
Bihu
dances,
the
poetic
charm
of
Poila
Boishakh,
or
the
spirited
celebrations
of
Baisakhi
—
each
festival
reminds
us
of
renewal,
resilience,
and
the
beauty
of
tradition.
Wishing
you
all
a
joyous
Vishu,
Bihu,
Poila
Boishakh,
and
Baisakhi!’
