The festival of colours, Holi is celebrated all over India with great energy and ardour. It is believed that during this festival, people let go of their differences and heartily embrace each other. The negative aspects of life also get wiped out along with the colours. According to the Hindu Panchang, Holi is celebrated on the Pratipada of Chaitra month during Krishna Paksha. Many times, Holi (Dhulandi or Vasant Utsav) is celebrated on the very first day, if Pratipada stretches for two days. This festival is celebrated to mark the arrival of spring, which brings back all the lively colors to nature. Holi is celebrated to honour this gift of Spring to nature. In the North Indian state of Haryana, Holi is also known as Dhulandi. 

Why Holi is Celebrated?

Sky, earth, water, fire and air are the primary elements essential for the formation of life on Earth and these basic elements are combined through the medium of Yagna. When the Earth was in its emerging stage and lacked a heartbeat, then Lord Vishnu manifested himself in Treta Yuga. During this time only, seven hermits acknowledged the importance of Yagya in their dreams after which they started making preparations for the Yagya. They initiated the Yagya under the supervision of Narad Muni. As the mantras were being chanted, Vishnu Tatva emerged from the Yagya along with the fire flames which eradicated all the negative energies from earth. Fear creped in between these negative entities but they were unable to figure out their source of destruction. After this, Lord Vishnu’s complete avatar was manifested in front of the saints and hermits. This day of Lord Visnu’s manifestation is also known as Phalguna Purnima. It becomes clear that Holi is celebrated in remembrance of the first Yagya ever conducted in the Treta Yuga. There are multiple legends associated with Holi mentioned in Hindu Dharmashastras.
