Maya Ali has extended warm greetings to the people of Lahore as the cultural hub of the country celebrates the three-day Basant festival.
The spring festival, deeply rooted in Lahore’s cultural identity, has returned, reviving memories of colourful kites, yellow attire, music, and communal joy.
Taking to Instagram, Maya Ali shared a message for Lahore people, highlighting the importance of safety to prevent any untoward incidents during the celebrations.
Her message struck a balance between excitement and caution, resonating with fans and festival-goers alike.
“Lahore walo, phir kaisa chal raha hai sab? Enjoy every bit of Basant, but a small request. Please avoid using any kind of string (dor) that could cause an accident. Khushiyon ko, khushi khushi hi celebrate karte hain,” she said in her post.
Maya accompanied her message with Fariha Pervez’s iconic track Patang Baaz Sajna Se, a song closely associated with Basant festivities, adding a nostalgic touch to her greeting.
Basant is back in Lahore, restoring a tradition that had been absent for years due to safety concerns. Across the city, rooftops are dotted with colourful kites as families and friends gather to welcome spring.
People dressed in shades of yellow can be seen enjoying music, traditional food, and festive get-togethers, reflecting the city’s collective excitement.
Authorities have permitted the celebrations under strict safety regulations, particularly enforcing a ban on hazardous kite strings.
The focus on regulated festivities aims to ensure that the cultural revival does not come at the cost of public safety.
Law enforcement agencies and local administrations have also issued advisories urging citizens to comply with the rules.
