FESTIVAL OF COLOURS : HOLI
Today, i am going to tell all about religious festival HOLI which is celebrated by Hindus, not onlu hindus but now a days it is celebrated in other countries too in South Asia, America, South Africa.
Holi have history of thousans of years, it signifies the victory of good over evil and celebrate in end of winter in month of march mostly. On this day, peoples meet eachothers, play with colors, forget all mistakes and strt new relationship. It is starting on Purnima's evening falling in Vikram Sammat Hindu Calender.
Holi is played all over India but the most beautiful and crazy Holi celebration is of Barsana, Vrindavan and Mathura (Braj). In Mathura bithplace of Lord Krishna where holi is celebrate in most craziest way with sticks, shield,colors and canons. Here, women play with men, men used color to coloured them and they beat them with sticks and men have to protect them by shields.!
Why Holi is started in Mathura??
Holi shows the loves of Lord Krishna and Radha rani. Legends or our epics say that Lord krishna was jealous of Radha rani Beauty and color of her skin, he always complaints to his mother Yasomati by sayung " Yasomati maiya se bole Nandlala, Radha ku gori main ku kaala". So to make skin tones similar to his skin he went to Radha rani village Barsana and colored her. Then she used to beat him with sticks, Krishna do that with help of his friends. And now its become a tradition and has evolved to be colorful and Lathmar Holi started.. In Mathura, it is started a week in advance and continued till final day of holi.
Holi Of Vrindavan Is Also Unique :
