Holi 2023 Greetings in Kannada, Quotes, Images, Messages, Sayings, Wishes, Shayari, and Social Media Posts

The Vibrant and colorful festival Holi is celebrated in India and other parts of the globe where Indians reside. As per the Gregorian calendar, the celebration usually tumbles in late February or early March and most of the time lasts for two days. Holi depicts several things like the triumph of good over evil, the arrival of the spring season, and most importantly the eternal love of Lord Krishna and Radha.

Holi is best known for its unique celebration, where people smear each other’s faces with these colors known as Gulal, sing, dance, and exchange blessings and gifts. Each colour used in the celebration has its own symbolic meaning. Red represents love and fertility, Blue represents the Hindu God Krishna, and Yellow represents turmeric, a traditional Indian spice.

Talking of the history behind the celebration, as per one of the legends, Once upon a time there was a kid Prahlada and his demon father, Hiranyakashipu. Prahlada was a devotee of Lord Vishnu, but his father Hiranyakashipu himself worshipped as a god. But Prahalada refused to worship him. Hiranyakashipu tried to kill his son in many ways but remained unsuccessful, finally, he called his sister Holika, who had a boon that made her immune to fire, to sit in a fire with Prahlada. However, the boon worked only if she entered the fire alone, and she perished while Prahlada survived. Holi is celebrated to commemorate this victory of good over evil.

Another popular legend associated with Holi is the story of Radha and Lord Krishna. According to the legend, Krishna complained asked his mother why Radha’s skin color is fair, and he’s dark. To solve the problem, Krishna’s mother Yashoda suggested him to smear Radha’s face with colors. This act of Krishna gave rise to the tradition of applying colors during Holi.

Not just in India, but the tradition of celebrating Holi has now spread worldwide, as many parts of the world, including Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the United States, and the United Kingdom celebrate this festival annually.
