The Rajpurohit samaj held a Sneh Milan for Holi in the Narol-Vatva belt of Ahmedabad, an occasion where the colours of the festival mingled with a sense of social connection.

An annual tradition
Holi events play an important part each year in bringing Ahmedabad’s Rajasthani families together, and this Sneh Milan continues that tradition.
What a Sneh Milan is
A Sneh Milan is a community gathering whose purpose is acquaintance and fellowship rather than ritual. Families meet one another, children are introduced, and the elders of the samaj are honoured.
Holi and social harmony
Holi has always been regarded as the festival that erases distinctions. Once the colours are on, everyone looks alike — and that spirit is the heart of these gatherings. For communities living away from home, the occasion is also a chance to reaffirm a shared identity.
Rajpurohit families in Narol-Vatva
A large number of Rajpurohit families live in Ahmedabad’s Narol-Vatva belt. It is this concentration that makes the samaj’s regular events in the area possible, and turnout at gatherings here is usually very high.
