Embracing Spring with a Splash of Color: Artha Wellness Sanctuary’s Holi Festival 2024
Spring is not just a season; it’s a vibrant celebration of new beginnings, love, and joy. At the heart of this celebration in Burbank, CA, is the Artha Wellness Sanctuary‘s Holi Festival of Colors, an event that has, over the years, become synonymous with the jubilant spirit of the season. This year, on March 23rd, the festival unfolded in all its colorful glory at the picturesque Castaway Gardens, part of the DeBell Golf Club, marking the event’s third annual celebration.
A Gathering of Stars and Spirits
The festival was a star-studded affair, with celebrities like Lukas Gage, Jamie Chung, Manasvi Mamgai (Miss India 2010), and many others gracing the event, all dressed in pristine white, embodying the canvas of possibilities that Holi represents. The Artha Wellness family, which Priyanka Khanna and Karan Khanna founded, brought together influencers, musicians, and over 400 guests to join them. The day was a testament to the sanctuary’s commitment to wellness, joy, and community spirit, highlighted by music, dance, and the throwing of colors, embodying the essence of Holi.
A Symphony of Colors and Sounds
Jennifer Elliott, an expert in Artha, led a soul-soothing Sound Bath meditation outside to kick off the celebrations and set the mood for calm and mindfulness throughout the day. As the meditation concluded, the air filled with the sound of music, from the beats of DJ Pookie to the rhythms of DJ Borak, and the grounds of Castaway Gardens transformed into a dance floor alive with energy, laughter, and splashes of color.
Culinary Delights and Refreshing Sips
Amidst the dancing and celebrations, guests were treated to an array of culinary delights. From tacos and brick oven pizzas to BBQ and authentic Indian cuisine catered by Bollywood Bites, there was something to tantalize every taste bud. The festival also offered a selection of beverages to keep the spirits high and the bodies hydrated. El Cristiano’s ultra-premium tequila, BeatBox Beverages‘ hard teas, Absolut vodka, and Essentia’s ionized alkaline water ensured that guests stayed refreshed throughout the day.
A Day of Love, Joy, and Wellness
The Artha Wellness Sanctuary’s Holi Festival of Colors is more than just a celebration; it’s a manifestation of love, joy, and communal harmony. With every throw of color, guests not only embraced the arrival of spring but also the essence of togetherness and wellness.
