Holi Celebrations | Best Matrimonial In Uttar Pradesh.
HOLI
Holi or Basant Utsav is known as the "Festival of Colours". The
celebration of Holi signifies the victory of good over evil, the arrival of
spring and for many a festive day to forget and forgive, repair broken
relationships and is also celebrated as a thanksgiving for a good
harvest. The first day is known as Holika Dahan (हॊलिका दहन) or Chhoti Holi and the
second as Rangwali Holi or Dhulandi.
Holi has a cultural significance among various
Hindu traditions of the Indian subcontinent and it is an ancient Hindu religious
festival which has become popular with non-Hindus in many parts of South Asia,
as well as people of other communities outside Asia. Holi celebrations start on the night
before Holi with a Holi bonfire where people gather, do religious rituals
in front of the bonfire and pray that their internal evil should be destroyed
as the bonfire starts. The next morning is celebrated as Rangwali Holi - a
free-for-all carnival of colours, where participants play, chase and
colour each other with dry powder and coloured water, with some carrying water
guns and coloured water-filled balloons for their water fight. Anyone and
everyone is fair game, friend or stranger, rich or poor, man or woman, children
and elders. People visit family, friends and foes to throw coloured powders on
each other and then share Holi delicacies, food and drinks.
The festival has traditionally been also
observed by non-Hindus, such as by Jains and Newar Buddhists (Sikhs have
traditionally celebrated the festival at least through the 19th century) with
its historic texts referring to it as Hola. Shri Guru GobindSingh - the last human guru of the Sikhs – modified Holi with a three day Hola Mohalla extension festival of martial arts. The extension started the day after
the Holi festival in Anandpur Sahib, where Sikh soldiers would train in mock battles;
compete in horsemanship, athletics, archery and military exercises.
The festival has many purposes; most
prominently, it celebrates the beginning of spring. In 17th century literature,
it was identified as a festival that celebrated agriculture, commemorated good
spring harvests and the fertile land. Hindus believe it is a time of enjoying
spring's abundant colours and saying farewell to winter. To many Hindus, Holi
festivities mark the beginning of the New Year as well as an occasion to reset
and renew ruptured relationships, end conflicts and rid themselves of
accumulated emotional impurities from the past.
It also
has a religious purpose, symbolically signified by the legend of Holika. The
night before Holi, bonfires are lit in a ceremony known as Holika Dahan
(burning of Holika) or Little Holi. People gather near fires, sing and dance.
The next day, Holi, also known as Dhuli in Sanskrit or Dhulheti or Dhulendi,
is celebrated. Children and youth spray coloured powder solutions (Gulal)
at each other, laugh and celebrate, while adults smear dry coloured powder (Abeer)
on each other's faces. Visitors to homes are first teased with colours
then served with Holi delicacies (such as Puranpoli, Dahi-Wada and Gujia),
desserts and drinks. After playing with colours and cleaning up, people
bathe, put on clean clothes to visit friends and family.
Holi is celebrated in the most dignified manner in the state of
Bengal. At Vishwa Bharti University, founded by Rabindranath Tagore founded the
tradition of celebrating Holi as 'Basant
Utsav' or 'Spring Festival'. Students
decorate the campus with intricate rangolis and carry out prabhat pheris in the
morning. Clad in traditional attire; young boys and girls sing songs composed
by Gurudev and present an enchanting view to the onlookers who gather in large
number here. In other parts of Bengal, Holi is celebrated as Dol Yatra where
the idols of Radha and Krishna are placed on a decorated palanquin and taken
out in a procession.
Well, there are many-many more ways in
which Holi is celebrated. Different states, different cities and different
villages have come out with their unique and innovative styles of playing Holi.
It may not be possible to describe all of them at one place. What is noteworthy
though is the fact that the spirit of Holi remains the same throughout. It is
the festival which generates the spirit of brotherhood and bring people close -
and this is what matters most than anything else.
In earlier times when
festival celebrations were not so much commercialized. Holi colors were
prepared from the flowers of trees that blossomed during spring, such as the Indian
Coral Tree (parijat) and the Flame of the Forest (Kesu), both of which have
bright red flowers. These and several other blossoms provided the raw material
from which the brilliant shades of Holi colours were made. Most of these trees
also had medicinal properties and Holi colors prepared from them were actually
beneficial to the skin.
What enhances the spirit of Holi though
is the tradition of consuming the intoxicating bhang. It is generally consumed
with Thandai or as Pakoras. People go high on it and enjoy the festival to the
hilt. Other Holi delicacies include Gujiya, Mathri, Malpua, Puranpoli, Dahi Wadas
etc. After a frenzied play of colours people love to gorge them up.

SIGNIFICANCE OF HINDU WEDDING
Today the Entire world is mesmerized by Hindu weddings,
that’s why right from Hollywood celebrities to many Prominent personalities
have come all the way to India to get married according to the Hindu faith. So
what is it about Hindu marriages that have managed to capture the interest of
the entire world? Well, there are many things that are unique about Hindu
marriages in India; the style and fanfare that surround a typical Hindu wedding
are just exceptional, together with the colourful and glitzy wedding attires of
the bride, groom and guests.
COLOURS
Among the union of colours in any typical Hindu wedding;
it’s the Red colour that dominates them all. It would not be wrong to say that
typical Hindu weddings boasts bouquet of colours, where the red color plays an
instrumental role. There would be no need to elaborate the significance of the
red color in an auspicious ceremony like a wedding. Traditional Hindu brides
wear red color as it is said to symbolize as the colour of Suhag. With red
henna on her hands and sealed with the pinch of red powder sindoor on her red,
she arrives as a married woman. It signifies passion too.
TILAK AND BINDI
Associated with the Goddess Shakti, it is said to drive away
evil and therefore its liberal use on an auspicious occasion like wedding.
Right from the Tilak applied on the groom's forehead, to the bangles on her
wrists, to the Alta applied on her palms and feet, to her Bindi the list is
just endless.
The Tilak and Bindi are similar but not synonymous as the
Tilak has to do with the third eye of Lord Shiva, one of the most revered
Indian Gods and part of Trinity. However its customary significance is that of
the all-seeing, all-pervading power that protects the inner wisdom of those
that it’s applied on.
Tilak is always applied with paste or powder and Bindi may
be paste, a sticker or even jewellery and can signify marriage or be simply for
decorative purposes. The Bindi in particular is symbol of feminine energy and
supposed to protect both the wife and the husband.
Other than red, there are many other colors that play an
integral role in a Hindu wedding setting. Saffron is another color that
dominates in a Hindu wedding. Walk into any wedding venue where a traditional
Hindu marriage is scheduled to happen, you will surely notice the liberal use
of saffron colored marigold garlands for decoration. These signify loyalty and
are again considered auspicious. Saffron color also denotes purity. Another
color that dominates the Indian wedding setting is Gold. From the golden embroidery
in the attires worn by the groom/bride to the Gold ornaments without which any
traditional Indian wedding is considered incomplete the golden color rules this
auspicious occasion.
Hindu weddings are indeed thriving with countless colors and
all these colors have their own meanings and significance. Red in India is
considered Holy and is symbolic of a certain time, place and action in one’s
personal life. While castes, beliefs and rituals may differ across religious
sects in India but the overall implications of the colour are universal..
