Holi 2023: Love Story of Radha And Krishna
The festival of Holi is usually associated with Lord Krishna. In places like Braj, Vrindavan and Mathura, Holi is a grand festival in which people celebrate the eternal love between Lord Krishna and his divine companion Radha. This year, it will be held from 08 March 2023.
Lord Krishna has always been portrayed as the lovable prankster in the legends. His playful nature and his 'leela' with the women of Braj is immensely popular. More than anything else, the eternal and divine love of Krishna and Radha makes this festival all the more special. The people of the Braj and surrounding areas enact roleplays during Holi which brings to life the divine legend of Radha and Krishna.
For those who are not aware of this eternal love story, here is the legend of Radha and Krishna which makes the festival of Holi colourful and divine. Take a look.
Krishna's Envy
Once Lord Krishna was extremely envious of his companion Radha's complexion. Krishna was dark in colour, while Radha was very fair. So, he complained to his mother Yashoda that nature is very unjust as it had made Radha fair and him dark.
To pacify her young son, Yashoda asked Krishna to go and colour Radha's face with whatever colour he wished to. So, Lord Krishna paid heed to the advice of his mother and applied colours on Radha's face, making her look like himself. Thus, the custom of applying colours to each other on Holi is said to have begun.
This lovable prank of the Lord gained popularity as he also played this prank on other women or gopis of the village. He threw colours and teased them with jets of colourful water. Hence, the tradition of applying colours evolved and became an inseparable part of the festival.
