About Holi Festival:

Holi is an ancient festival of India and was originally known as 'Holika'. The festivals finds a detailed description in early religious works such as Jaimini's Purvamimamsa-Sutras and Kathaka-Grhya-Sutras. Historians also believe that Holi was celebrated by all Aryans but more so in the Eastern part of India. It was at this time of year, Krishna used to play pranks by drenching the village girls, with water and colors. At first it offended the girls. But they were so fond of this mischievous boy that soon their anger melted away. And, it did not take long for other boys to join in, making it a popular sport in the village. Later, as Krishna grew up, the play assumed a new dimension. It added more colors to Krishna's legendary love life. The legend of Krishna's courtship with Radha, and playing pranks with the 'Gopi's. The girls in the 'dairy' village of Gokul were mostly milkmaids, and, hence locally known as the Gopis. The same tradition has transpired through the ages, turning it into a community festival of the masses. As time kept flowing, the culture spread roots to other regions of the country. The Holi play of Krishna is documented in hundreds of ancient paintings, murals, sculptures and scriptures found across the subcontinent. Calculating the Day of Holi There are two ways of reckoning a lunar month- 'purnimanta' and 'amanta'. In the former, the first day starts after the full moon; and in the latter, after the new moon. Apart from the reference in the religious and historical texts, Holi also finds a reference in the sculptures on walls of old temples. A 16th century temple at Hampi, the capital of Vijayanagar (now in Karnataka) has a panel sculpted with the joyous scene of Holi celebrations. This painting illustrates a Prince and his Princess standing amidst maids who are waiting with pichkaris to drench the couple in colored water. Another painting on the theme related to Holi, the Vasanta Ragini - spring song or music is found in Ahmednagar in Maharashta. This 16th century painting depicts a royal couple sitting on a huge swing, and several maidens surrounding them playing music and spraying colors with pichkaris.Though the amanta reckoning is more common now, the purnimanta was very much in vogue in the earlier days. According to this purnimanta reckoning, Phalguna purnima was the last day of the year and the new year heralding the Vasanta-ritu (with spring starting from next day). Thus the full moon festival of Holika gradually became a festival of merrymaking, announcing the commencement of the spring season. This perhaps explains the other names of this festival - Vasanta-Mahotsava and Kama-Mahotsava.It is said that Holi existed several centuries before Christ. However, the meaning of the festival is believed to have changed over the years. Earlier it was a special rite performed by married women for the happiness and well-being of their families and the full moon (Raka) was worshiped.


Holi SMS :


Hindi Holi SMS

Saade rang ko galti se aap naa kora samjho,

Isi mey samaaye indradhanushi saaton rang,

Jo dikhe aapko zindagi saadagi bhari kisi ki,

To aap yun samjho satrangi hai duniya usiki,

Holi aayi satrangi rango ki bouchar laayi,

Dher saari mithai aur mitha mitha pyar laayi,

Aap ki zindagi ho mithe pyar aur khusiyon se bhari,

Jisme samaaye saaton rang yahi shubhkamna hai hamaari.

Aaj ki holi me aapke sab dukh dard jal jaayein,
Aur kal ki rangpanchmi k saare rang aapke jeevan ko khushiyon se bhar jaayein..
SHUBH HOLI :-)



Lal, gulabi, neela, pila hathon me liya samet,

Holi ke din rangenge sajni, kar ke meethi bhent.



Pichkari ki Dhar,

Gulal ki bauchar,

Apno ka pyar,

Yahi hai yaaron holi ka tyohar.

Happy Holi!!!!
