To celebrate Holi is… to Play Holi… this festival is especially famous among the young guys who gear up for Holi, months before the final day.
On either side of the roads, when one can spot kiosks with humungous large tables alive with heaps of colored powders called gulal, when the young ones squirt water at the passers-by through their water squirting pumps and hurl water filled balloons, when the Indian sweet shops get thick with a variety of delicious sweet meats, you know it is time for Holi
The colorful spring festival is celebrated on the full moon day that is in the month of Phalugna or Falguna .
We all play HOLI but do we know why ? No prob guys , M here to tell u .....
A day before the Holi festivity, a bon fire is made. This is a ritual in India. Legends have it that, the bonfire represents the burning moment of Holika that also epitomizes the defeat of evil. According to myths, Holika was the sister of the evil king Hiranyakashipu. When Hiranyakashipu failed to make his son surrender his fondness and devotion towards Lord Narayana, he asked Holika to sit with Prahalad in the bonfire. Since Holika was blessed with a boon that she would remain unharmed in the blazing fire, she acted upon her brother’s request. But as the Almighty would have it, Prahalad came out unhurt and on the contrary, Holika ended in ashes.
From that tym , we celebrate this Colourful fest.
In India , the best place for Holi celebration is my state , Proud to say , Uttar Pradesh.
Uttar Pradesh is the best place in India to experience the true flavor of the festival of colors Holi. Celebrations in Mathura and Varanasi are the most exciting amongst all of the celebrations in the state. The essence of Holi celebrations in Brajbhoomi is said to be kept the same even today, as it was celebrated thousands years back . Every city here is colored on the special day. We tend to wear old & withered outfits on this day as we are never sure whether our body will carry the same attire the whole day. No Gham , No Maayusi ....Jus enjoy the Koolness Which HOLI brings this 20th MARCH......
A splash of red i send u, a tinge of blue to cool the hue, a rush of green for warmth and zest, for u n ur family wishes best. Happy Holi!
