Holi in Bihar has always been a grand affair, filled with vibrant colors, folk music, and traditional delicacies. However, one celebration that stood out from the rest was the legendary Holi at Lalu Prasad Yadav’s residence. Known for his unique style, Lalu’s Holi was not just a festival but a spectacle, blending politics with rustic charm, traditional beats, and an open invitation to all.
For years, Holi at 10 Circular Road, Patna, the residence of the former Bihar Chief Minister, was the most talked-about event. Leaders, party workers, celebrities, and even common people gathered to witness the unparalleled energy and unique style of celebrations. Dhols, Nagadas, and Bhojpuri folk songs filled the air, while Lalu himself, dressed in a white kurta, danced with unmatched enthusiasm. The celebration was a true reflection of Bihar’s cultural richness, where caste, class, and political affiliations blurred in the spirit of festivity.
A highlight of Lalu’s Holi was the splendid feast, featuring traditional dishes like Dahi-Vada, Malpua, Pua, Gujiya, and Handi of Thandai laced with Bhang. Guests often found themselves smeared with colors by none other than Lalu himself, who never shied away from drenching his visitors in a riot of hues.
However, in recent years, the grandeur of Lalu’s Holi has faded. With his advancing age, legal battles, and health concerns, the much-anticipated celebration has been missing from Bihar’s festive calendar. While his family members continue the tradition in a modest way, the boisterous and inclusive Holi of Lalu Prasad Yadav remains a nostalgic memory for many.
For those who witnessed it, Lalu’s Holi was not just about colors but about a larger-than-life personality who brought people together in an unfiltered, joyous atmosphere. As Bihar continues to celebrate Holi with enthusiasm, many still miss the electrifying energy and rustic charm that once defined Holi at Lalu’s house.
