Fill The World With The 'Color Of Love'

Fill The World With The 'Color Of Love' 
'HOLI'

Holi is a Hindu festival that marks the arrival of spring. Known widely as the Festival of Colour, it takes place over two days, and is a celebration of fertility, colour, and love, as well as the triumph of good versus evil. Holi is an ancient celebration. It is celebrated for various reasons.

Holika Dahan takes place the night before Rangwali Holi. Wood and dung-cakes are burned in a symbolic pyare to signify good defeating evil, the burning of the devil Holika. 

The next morning, people gather in public spaces and take part in Rangwali Holi. The timing of Holi is synchronised with the moon, which means that the dates of each celebration varies year on year.

Holi festival draws on the legend of Radha and Krishna. Krishna loved Radha, but felt self-conscious about how different their skin-colours were. So on the advice of his mother, he went and playfully painted her face so it was the same colour as his.

An alternative legend of the holiday is associated with  Lord Shiva, one of the major hindu Gods. Madana, the God of love, decided to test his resolve and appeared to Shiva in the form of a beautiful Spirit. But Shiva recognized Madana and became very angry. In a fit of rage he shot fire out of his third eye and reduced her to ashes. This is sometimes given as the basis of Holi's bonfire.

It is said that lovers often celebrate Holi in this tradition, by coloring their faces the same color during the celebrations but it is mostly seen as a time for people to get together and enjoy themselves.

"Let's promise ourselves we will forget race, religion, nationality, gender, caste, and come together to fill the world with the 
'color of love' on this occasion. Only love should be spread and taken."
