Color festival holi


One of the most important festivals in India is the Swing or Spring Festival. It comes from the rocking. This festival is celebrated in eastern, western and northern India. People say, 'Holi hai!'


Swing is an important festival of Hindu religion. Among them, Vaisnava followers have added different significance and greatness. It is also called Holi. However, it is said that swing and holi were different in the beginning. Currently two festivals are unified. The full moon will be seen on March 15.


Holi dissolution came from Hori (Tasam) or Swing. Holly is Hollak, Hollak means Holika, which means Diana. It involves destroying evil and welcoming new ones. It is called different names in different regions of the sub-continent. For example - Holi or Hori in Goa, northern and central India in Orissa, Shimga in Goa and Kankan regions, Kamana in south India. Holi festival in northern India is celebrated the next day of Bengal's trip.


It is said that Holi and Doval journey together with the influence of Geetagovinda of Medieval Poet, Joydev. Some songs of Rabindranath Tagore and the significance of Radha-Krishna Swing Lila have also come. This topic came in many poems, including his 'Sonaratari' hanging, 'Katha and Kahini' Holi Khilha. Doljatra festival is known as Shanti Niketan, Basantoszeb. This festive celebration has been celebrated for many years from the poet's lifetime. Holi has come and repeatedly in poetry and songs of Kazi Nazrul Islam. In addition, the word "holi" is used in different areas in a positive and negative sense.


According to Hindu religion, four era - Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dwaparaj, and Kali Yuga Currently Kaliyuga is running. From the earlier twenties, Srikrishna's dolajatra or Dol festival is coming. It is said that Sri Krishna's presence took place in Falguni Purnima, in Falguni Purnima. Again, this purnima of 1486 was born in Tithi to Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, also known as Gaur-Purnima, as Vaishnava Believers. But its main significance is in the episode of Radha-Krishna relationship.


Falguni Purnima, on this day of Tithi, used to celebrate Shrikrishna Abir and Gulal with her beloved Radha and thirty-three thousand gopis in the Nandan Kannan in Brindaban. In the memory of this morning, the procession was performed in Kirtan singing along with Bhaavakrishna and Radharah Bigno Abir and Golle. Then the blacksmith used to paint each other with Abir and Gulal.


From all these aspects, the dol festival can be seen in two ways - the mythological episodes of Hinduism and the presence of Sri Chaitanya. Two aspects of the mythological episode - Skandhpurana 'Holika' and Radha-Krishna's story. In the first case involving Holika and Prahlada precedents in the Falgun Mahaatmya script of Skandapuraan book.


The story that surrounds Radha-Krishna is more common-Sri Krishna one day playing with Radha and his friends in Vrindavan. At that time, Radha was shocked to face an embarrassing situation. To cover the shame of Shri Krishna Radha and keep the matter secret from his friends; Radha started playing Abir with her friends. Shuffle them all with Abir. In the memory of Abir, the Hindu community is known to celebrate this Holi festival. Apart from this, it has been said that Krishna appeared in front of Radha with a variety of colors covering his own black color. Since then, the festival begins.


Different rituals were organized in different areas of the festival. For example, somewhere in the Falgun Shukla Chaturdashi, the 'Bururi' or 'Poor' burn is celebrated on the occasion of celebrating the swing. These special ceremonies are usually organized in Bishnu or Krishna temples or by burning sticks, wood, bamboo etc.


This festival is more colorful for young people. However, men and women of all ages have made each other in the color of the abir. Younger people are blessed with bowing down to elderly people. Radha-Govinda Puja is held in the Temple-Temple. During the worship ceremony, the bells of the clay, the bell and the bells of the priests became all round. Somewhere a few days-long programs were organized. There are Srisri Hari Lilamata and Guru Moon Charitapatha, Sitting Kirtan, Hari Sangit and Mahasangita.


Since the end of the year, the new year is also auspicious prayer. Dostapurna is specially celebrated in Kushtia's Lalon Ground. Lalon Fakir used to associate with his disciples on the day of dholipiamara. Accordingly, the bob festival is still celebrated in the area.
