How Is Holi Celebrated In Modern Day?
India, a country where you’d discover a festival in each month of the calendar. In some months, we even have two-three festivals together. That is why our country is known as the land of festivals.
Every festival of in our country has its own incredible and interesting story behind its celebrations and we have been celebrating it from ages ago in different forms in different parts of the country. If we talk in particular, the Holi festival, Holi celebration in modern days is far different than the ancient time. Let’s find out how Holi is celebrated in modern-days.
Holi: Story Behind The Festival Of Colours
Our festivals are such a popular one that even some of them are celebrated in other countries too. Holi is one of them, the festival of colors, joy, friendship and togetherness.
Everyone knows, time never remains the same. It is changing constantly and with the change in time, environments, and the people, the ways of celebrations have also changed.
Now, we are in the modern era and what were the ways and systems of celebrating different festivals earlier, have got revolutionized now.
Though it is modern days now, the traditions of celebrating Holi in different parts of the country in different ways have not got united. There are variations in different areas but the ways have changed in particular to almost everywhere.
In ancient time, it was celebrated for ten to sixteen days but now, it is concentrated in only two days of celebrations. The eve of Holi is greeted as ‘Holika Dahan’. On this day as per the traditions, woods are collected in one place and are burnt in the evening with the rituals of moving around it to burn out the devils, evils and bad spirits from our life and enlighten the joy of happiness and prosperity.
The other is the main one, the day of Holi. On this day, the sun rises with many pleasant fragrances of numerous delicious dishes being cooked in everyone’s kitchen. And the color spreading starts at no time. No one has the clue when it starts, and everyone turns colorful.
But the main modernization in Holi is the technology. Yes, technology has its leg in distracting the traditional culture of Holi too. How? Due to technologies only, we get the synthetic colors with harmful chemicals in it which has a number of disadvantages or you can say it has disadvantages only. Coz, it affects the skin, and is able of making you unhealthy and ill. Earlier the tradition was to play with natural colors but now, it has got vanished.
The practices of consuming ‘Bhang’ and other alcohols has become the modern tradition. If you ask such people why they are doing so, they’d answer you-“it’s Holi, if today we’ll not do it then what’s the benefit of celebrating it”. This is the basic view point of everyone now for Holi. The festival which had the message of love and friendship in ancient days has become such a horrible one that females get hesitated to move out of their house as they are scared of the wild alcoholics, who knows what they are going to do?
In many parts of the country people get involved in a kind of violence in Holi and they give it the name of tradition like- Lathmaar Holi, and others of such kind in which one beats the other or attacks with sticks, sword and all and even tear off each other’s clothes.
Due to these unhealthy practices of playing Holi, our environment gets affected as well. One must consider the good values for celebrating any festival.
So, it’s an appeal to everyone. Please splash color of healthy Holi this time. Happy Holi!!
