If you’re wondering, “What is Holi?” you might discover that there isn’t a single correct answer. Although, it is believed to be the time to rejoice in rebirth and new beginnings.
Celebrated every spring, Holi marks new beginnings. With Holi, winter ends and summer arrives. The Holi festival is always held in the Hindu month of Phalguna. Holika Dahan takes place on the day of the full moon of March. It is then the Holi bonfire is lit. The bonfire is believed and intended to burn away all the negativity and bad stuff. The festival of colours takes place the next day, of the Holi bonfire.
Why is Holi known as the “Festival of Colors”?
Signified by the use of colors throughout the festival, Holi is known as the Festival of Colors. While the Holika Dahan bonfire the night before has a religious component, the day of the colour fest usually does not. It’s all about having fun in your community by taking to the streets or attending private celebrations to throw colours at each other. Each of the colours is said to represent something different. Krishna, a Hindu god with blue skin, is represented by blue. Green is associated with rebirth and new beginnings. Red is the colour of marriage and can represent matrimony or fertility. And yellow, the colour of turmeric, is frequently used on auspicious occasions.
The Mythology Behind Holi
Before you dive into Best Holi in Jaipur, let know itโs mythological importance first. According to Hindu mythologies, Holi has been celebrated since ancient times. However, its purpose & the belief behind it evolved over time. In its early days, the Holi festival was thought to be a ceremony for married women to bestow happiness and prosperity on their new family and married life.
One of the central themes of Holi is now the triumph of good over evil. This is based on the legend of Hiranyakashipu, a king who believed he was immortal and should be worshiped as such. His son, Prahlad, was a devoted worshiper of Lord Vishnu and Hiranyakashipu hated his own son for worshiping Vishnu over him. According to legend, Lord Vishnu incarnated as a half-lion, half-man and killed Hiranyakashipu, ensuring that good overcame evil.
Another well-known Holi legend is the story of Krishna and Radha. According to Hindu legend, Krishnaโs skin turned blue as a baby after drinking poisonous milk from a demon. Krishna fell in love with Radha but was concerned that Radha would not feel the same way because of his skin colour. Radha allowed Krishna to colour her skin, and they married. As a result, on Holi, we colour each other’s skin.
