Happy Holi : Reasons why Hindus celebrate the festival of colors

The festival of colors can be seen in ad campaigns, music video and in films. people from all over the country come together and splash water and color on their family and and friends.

Bring brands like canon and sony used this festival as their branding campaign.

But what is Holi and why do Hindus celebrate it:

In the beginning of spring:

It starts in the beginning of the spring. Hindu celebrates it with their friends an family.

Celebrated across India, it’s an ancient festival with the first mentions of it dating all the way back to a 4th century poem.

It is even described in 7th century sanskrit play “Ratnavali” writeen by an emperor Harsha.

“Witness the beauty of the great cupid festival which excites curiosity as the townsfolk are dancing at the touch of brownish water thrown … Everything is colored yellowish red and rendered dusty by the heaps of scented powder blown all over,” wrote Harsh.

How Holi looks now:

Although its is a Hindu festival but you can see different religions also getting involved in celebrations.

Children can douse elders with water, women splash men with color and the rules of caste and creed are briefly forgotten with everyone taking part.

They spend their evening my visiting friends and family. It is a national holiday in India.It takes place on the last full moon day of the Hindu lunisolar calendar month, which is usually March.

This year’s national holiday falls on Friday, March 2.
The festival takes place a day earlier in the eastern states of West Bengal and Odisha. In some parts of northern Uttar Pradesh state, the festivities take place over a week.

Holi myths:

The roots of Holi is related to female demon Holika, and the sister of the demon, King Hiranyakashayap.
Hiranyakashayap claimed the he is superior to all gods but his son, Prahlad, followed the god Vishnu, the preserver and protector of the universe.
Prahlad’s decision to turn his back on his father left Hiranyakashayap with no choice. He hatched a plot with Holika to kill him.
It was a seemingly foolproof plan; Holika would take Prahlad onto her lap and straight into a bonfire. Holika would survive because she had an enchanted shawl that would protect her from the flames.
But the plan failed. Prahlad was saved by Vishnu and it was Holika who died as she was only immune to fire if she was alone. Soon after, Vishnu killed Hiranyakashayap and Prahlad became king.
The moral of the story is that good always triumphs over evil.

The love story behind Holi

In modern day Holi celebrations, Holika’s cremation is often reenacted by lighting bonfires on the night before Holi, known as Holika Dahan.
Some Hindus collect the ashes and smear them on their bodies as an act of purification
Rangwali Holi takes place the next day and is an all-day affair where people throw and smear colored powder on each other.
The tradition of throwing colored powder and water is believed to originate from the mythological love story of Radha and Krishna.
Krishna, the Hindu god depicted with dark blue skin, is believed to have complained to his mother about Radha’s fair complexion.
To ease her son’s sadness, his mother suggests he Radha’s skin color by smearing her with paint. It’s believed that this is where the custom of smearing loved ones with color during Holi came from.

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting
    my own blog and was curious what all is needed to get set up?
    I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% certain.
    Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
