How is Holi Celebrated?
Holi marks the end of winter and welcomes the spring season. The celebration starts with the lighting of a bonfire on the eve of Holi, symbolizing the burning away of evil spirits. This is known as Holika Dahan. The following day, people joyfully smear each other with gulaal (colored powders) and throw colored water through pichkaris (water guns) or balloons in lively street gatherings and parties. Traditional sweets like gujiya and refreshing drinks like thandai, sometimes with bhang, enhance the festive spirit. Celebrated with music and dance as old wrongs are forgiven and everyone is invited in the holi celebration, thus creating a sense of community and togetherness.
What is the History of Holi?
The history of Holi goes way back and is rooted in old Hindu traditions. It first started as a festival to celebrate a good harvest and the beginning of spring. Some of the oldest Indian religious books, which are thousands of years old, talk about Holi. And a really old piece of writing from 300 BC proves that people have been celebrating Holi for a very long time. The festival is famous for its story about a good guy, Lord Vishnu, beating a bad guy, a demon named Hiranyakashipu. This story is all about good winning over evil. Today, Holi is a time when people in India come together in March to throw colored powder at each other, forget about the usual social rules, and have fun, no matter who they are.
