When you think of Holi, you immediately start picturing colours. Vibrant colours that drape your body like a new skin. Colours that add a smile to your face and to the festivities. All things apart, Holi is one of most important holiday events in India. The history behind this festival is quite well known. For some Holi is the celebration of fertility, colour, and love, as well as the triumph of good versus evil.
Holi also marks the beginning of spring and brings in cheer and joy, marking the end of a cold barren winter. One thing we can all agree on that it also happens to be one of the fun festivals to be celebrated in India. If you are wondering how: here’s how you can celebrate it in your own special way:
The stories behind the Pyre are many. Holi begins with this tradition and all of us have reasons and ways of celebrating it. Even if you are among those who do not follow the same, the sight of the holy fire burning into the dark should not be missed.
Bright colours can really make your day and Holi give you the chance to be the perfect rainbow of colours. Plan a special day with your friends, where you can splash and drench yourself with some eclectic colours. To add to the fun, mix some colours in the water and bombard your friends and family with it.
Holi is one of the best times to snack on some amazing food. Traditionally, the Holi Day menu consists of Gujiyas, Puran Polis, Kheer, Ras Malai Barfi, Phirni and so much more lip-smacking food. If you are done eating, try sipping some Thandai and if you are feeling really brave, have a few gulps of Bhang to add more flavour to the day.
Holi is celebrated across the country with special grandeur. One of the best ways to celebrate Holi is to explore and experience Holi in different regions. If you find yourself in the North of India, head to Mathura and Vrindavan. They hold week-long celebrations, with colourful processions and vibrant festive spirit. The Dwarkadheesh temple in Mathura and Banke Bihari temple in Vrindavan are the best places to see this wonderful riot of colours.
Make way to Hola Mohalla in Anandpur Punjab, where the Sikh warrior monks display electrifying acrobatics and the gathka, a form of traditional martial arts. Or head to Barsana to experience Lath Mar Holi, where women playfully hit the menfolk with sticks.
