NOT Holi but Gudi Pawa, Songkran (Thailand), Thingyan[edit]

Though Holi signifies Spring Equinox ... its not New Year

- Hindu New Year (Not Entirety)

- Thai New Year (Songkran)

The introducing image[edit]

@TheDoodbly No, it is not redundant! There exists only textual information. So visual map of these texts is not redundant. About inaccuracy, this image gives a general sense no need to be actually percise. The same as the image File:Persian_Language_Location_Map.svg for Persian language which is not accurate because does not contain for example, American Persians, but gives a good general sense. I revert your edit and if you disagree, please discuss here. Thanks, Hooman Mallahzadeh (talk) 06:50, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It does not seem that much meaning is imparted by said visual information. What is the map supposed to tell us that the list isn't? Plus, its key is unsourced, and it is a poorly-done raster image, which immediately makes it a candidate for my reverting if added to an article. Remsense诉 09:02, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
