  • Holi the Festival What Is Holi?
    Holi The Festival What Is Holi? Holi is the colourful Hindu festival celebrated since ancient times in agricultural areas to throw off the darkness of winter and welcome the light of spring. Holi is celebrated following the full moon in the month of ‘Phalguna’ in the Hindu calendar so its date varies. It usually falls between February and March. Holi also commemorates various events in Hindu mythology, including the legend of a demon king. The name Holi is thought to come from Holika, the sister of the demon king, Hiranyakashyap. In Hindu mythology, Holika is said to have been burned in place of Hiranyakashyap’s son Prahlad when he was sentenced to death by his father for worshipping the Hindu god Lord Vishnu. Therefore, Holi is also seen as a time to celebrate good overcoming evil. Holi, a national festival celebrated across India, is mainly a fun festival where people can relax. It is celebrated over two days. The first day is known as Holika Dahan and the second as Rangwali Holi. How Is Holi Celebrated? Holi is associated with relaxed social expectations, which means that all people mix regardless of age, gender or wealth. Behaviour expectations are also relaxed, resulting in a fun but chaotic atmosphere. A common saying heard during Holi is ‘Buran a mano, Holi hai’, which means ‘don’t be offended, it’s Holi.’ On the evening of Holika Dahan (the first day of the festival), a public bonfire is lit to celebrate the burning of Holika rather than Prahlad. For the weeks leading up to Holi, Hindu boys traditionally collect waste wood for the fire, which is lit between 10 p.m.
