If the power of delectable fragrances could transport us, we’d all want to come home for Holi.
The smell of freshly cooked, slightly roasted, ghee-infused puran poli, mixed with the aromatic simmering of butter chicken or the sticky sweetness of jalebies and ghewars – each of these invoke a faint memory that is reminiscent of a festival dear to the hearts of so many Indians, including those living round the world.
The significance of Holi is mired in varied legend and mythological stories. The most popular one is that of a king Hiranyakashap, who rose to great power and wished for everyone to worship him. His son, Prahlad rebelled to worship Lord Vishnu. To rid of such rebellious acts, the king ordered his sister Holika to sit Prahlad on her lap and enter blazing fire. While her boon to be protected from the fire would leave her unscathed, Prahlad would perish. However, in a twist of events, Prahlad’s devotion to his lord protected him though the fire and burned Holika to the ground. The tradition of lighting the bonfire came to be known as Holika Dahan that is celebrated to the day.
However, over the years, the sentiments of the celebration have evolved.
From the hazy sights of dusty gulal in the air to the sound of hushed whispers when setting up soak-worthy pranks, there is a go-to Holi story in each of lives that brings a wave of warmth and laughter to our hearts. Regardless of where we are in the world, we seek our tribe of fervent Holi fanatics to share and revel in similar experiences of the festival and in many ways, create new traditions of our own.
If you find yourself shuffling excitedly through your calendar, or hitting up message threads to say, “Let’s do something for Holi”, you’ve come to the right place.
