Festival of Colors Done Right: Holi

February 16, 2023

It's once again that time of year. The Indian people have come to admire Holi in Jaipur, which put the country in a cheerful attitude. Everyone enjoys and craves smearing colour all over their friends while sipping various tasty beverages and indulging in goodies made specifically for Holi.

Do you genuinely understand why Holi is celebrated, though?

We often refer to it as the festival of colours and the start of a new era, but there is more to it than that. I would like to lead you down historical paths to help you comprehend what gave rise to the ritual of Holi because neither you nor I knew the legend that lay behind this.

The Holi Legend:

The Bhagavata Purana claims that Monarch Hiranyakashipu, who was known as the king of the evil Asuras and was claimed to possess incredible strength and could not be destroyed by either a man or an animal, became agitated and haughty and demanded that everyone submit to him as a deity.

The King's son, Prahalad, who was the next in line, disagreed and made the decision to stick with Lord Vishnu. The monarch was enraged and was forced to subject his son to severe and degrading punishments. In the end, Holika, the King's sister, had deceived him into joining her on a pyre. Prahlada was left unprotected while Holika was covered with a cloak.

The Holi Festival:

Well, this is how the celebration often goes down for those who are unfamiliar with Holi or the event in its entirety.

Due to the country's diverse cultural environment, Holi celebrated in Jaipur various ways depending on the location in India. Holi is referred to as the Basanta Utsav or Spring Festival in West Bengal and Assam.

It's interesting to learn about the Holi celebrations that take place in a particular area of Uttar Pradesh. In Barsana, a town close to Mathura, it is known as Lathmar Holi, and during this event, it is clear that women beat up males with sticks while onlookers cheer them on and sing religious hymns.

The Holi Festival's past

The name Holi comes from Hoilka, the evil sister of Hiranyakashipu, the demon king. The blessing that made the demon king invincible and immortal was one he had earned. Because of his increased influence, he developed an inflated sense of self and demanded that everyone worship him. Prahlada, his own son, disapproved since he was a Vishnu follower.

His father, King Hiranyakashipu, was furious about this. The monarch subjected his own son to harsh punishments, but did not weaken that son's will to uphold the moral standards. One day Holika deceived Prahlada into sitting on a pyre with her, but Prahlada was not immune to fire because Holika was wearing a cloak that made her. The cloak flew from Holika and wrapped Prahlada as the fire intensified. Holika died from burns, although

The Prahlada lived. After that, Vishnu showed up and slew Hiranyakashipu, the demon king. Therefore, the blaze represents the triumph of good over evil.
