Holi – The Vibrancy of India
Holi, the colorful spring festival, It marks the triumph of the spring season over winter and also good over evil. Holi is a celebration of colours. Generously dousing themselves and others in colored powder, people celebrate it to welcome spring and show thanks for good harvests.
On the eve of the celebration, a huge bonfire is lit and people sing and dance around it. The fire is symbolic of the destruction of evil demons in Hindu mythology. Men, women and children, young and old - everyone in India comes together to celebrate Holi. People visit friends and relatives and smear each other with colorful powders. People enjoy a feast of sweets and snacks.
It’s a unique festival, the likes of which are probably not found anywhere else in the world. A boisterous yet colorful celebration of the many myths, legends and deities associated with it. Holi is marked as much by religious fever and devotion as it is by loud music, traditional dances and of course the forceful scrubbing of bright gulal and abeer on friends and relatives.
The festival signifies the victory of good over evil, the arrival of spring, end of winter, and for many a festive day to meet others, play and laugh, forget and forgive, and repair ruptured relationships. Holi festival may be celebrated with various names and people of different states might be following different traditions. But, what makes Holi so unique and special is the spirit of it which remains the same throughout the country and even across the globe, wherever it is celebrated.
