Holi -the festival of colours
Lal, gulabi, neela, pila hathon me liya samet …
… Holi ke din rang do sajni aur yaaron ko , kar ke meethi bhent
.
At the end of the winter season, on the last full moon day of the lunar month Phalguna (February/March), people celebrate Holi. It is a spring religious festival in India. It is primarily observed in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka. In West Bengal and Orissa of India it is known as Dolyatra. The most celebrated Holi is that of the Braj region, in locations connected to the god Krishna: Mathura, Vrindavan, Nandagaon, and Barsana. These places have become tourist destinations during the festive season of Holi, which observed here up to sixteen days. People in Rajasthan, Gujarat and North India celebrate Holi in great style with folk dancing and colour throwing.
In Holi (also known as Dhuli Vandana), people throw colour powder and water to each other. In few places in South India people lit bonfires a day before which is known as Holika Dahan. The bonfires are lit in memory of the miraculous escape that young Prahlad accomplished when Demoness Holika, sister of Hiranyakashipu, carried him into the fire.
Celebrations by milkmen in Orissa : Milkmen, ‘Gwalas’ carry the palanquin on their shoulders, for Krishna belonged to their clan. Dandi Khela ( a game ) is also played to mark the day special one. People relish the special delicacies like Pithas(cakes), Laddoos(sweets) on the holy Holi day.
Holi is one of the major festivals of India and is celebrated with full of enthusiasm and gaiety
Whole nation wears a festive look, market places get abuzz with activity, heaps of various colour-gulaal and aver, loaded pichkaaris with coloured water can be seen outdoor. Everybody wish to colour anyone seen on the way and to drench everybody in the town. Bright colors, water balloons, lavish gujiyas and melodious songs are the ingredients of perfect Holi. Wish you a very happy and wonderful Holi.
