The enthusiasm of the people reaches its peak and matches with the
nature which is in full bounty at the time of Holi.
Holi is being celebrated in Indian since time immemorial
but the popularity of Holi celebrations seems to be rising
with every passing year and so is the level of hoo-ha. As no other festival gives
so much liberty to the people to let their hair loose and enjoy their hidden crazy self.
Differences of any sort are drowned in the coloured waters
of Holi and people just enjoy being a play animal. To further
enhance the festive spirit of Holi celebrations we have a social
sanction to get a kick with the tradition of bhang. Then there is
total wildness as people dance to the rhythm of dholak and sing
traditional folk songs in loudest possible pitch.
Children particularly enjoy the festival as they throw water filled
balloons at passersby...and if anybody stares..they have ready answer,
'Bura na mano Holi hai..' and evoke a smile on the irritated face. Besides,
they have their water missiles, called pichkaris to drench the person from far and
escape further drenching.
In the midst of these colouring games are savoured the mouth watering holi
specialities like gujiya, malpuas, mathri, puran poli, dahi badas etc and
downed with glasses full of thandai.
In some states there is also a tradition of breaking the pot full of buttermilk
which is hung high on the streets. A group of boys form a human pyramid and one
of them break the pot. All this while womenfolk throw buckets of colour water
on them and sing folk songs.
And after a wild and eventful day, evenings are celebrated in a dignified manner
by visiting friends and relatives. People exchange sweets and hug each other conveying
the warm wishes for Holi. These days there people also participate and organise Holi Meets
and enjoy the festival till late in the night.
Holi celebrations that starts with the burning of Holika on the eve of Holi thus culminates with the lot of funfilled activity and bonhomie. However, at some places specially Mathura and Barsana Holi celebrations continue for a week as each major temple organise a Holi bash on different day. Lovers of the festival enjoy every moment to the hilt.
