Chandigarh, March 17

Holi festival has got very diversified forms of celebration. From ‘Lath maar Holi’ in Barsana to ‘Phoolon ki Holi’ in Mathura, the festival has a great cultural significance. Amid these different forms of celebration, Patna people invented a new form, by hurling Chappal at each other. This form was not introduced by any individual in the backyard, but a mass gathering had participated and witnessed this celebration.

In the viral video, enthusiasts painted in Holi colors can be seen hurling slippers on each other in a water park.

The scenario at water park came as boon for desi Twitter and the post was flooded with memes.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
