Literally
I will give such abuse that she will celebrate neither Diwali nor Holi.
What it means
Threatening someone with such severe humiliation or ruin that they lose all joy.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1921) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet
