Holi – Festival of colors - India.

 Holi-the festival of colors and the festival of love, is an ancient Hindu religious festival that has become popular with non-Hindus in many parts of South Asia, as well as people from other countries. communities. It is celebrated mainly in India, Nepal and other regions of the world with significant Hindu populations.

Holi refers to Holika, the evil sister of King Hiranyakashipu and aunt of Prince Prahlada. When the powers that were granted to the king blinded him, believing himself the only deity that his people should worship, Prince Prahlada decided to continue worshiping Vishnu and enraged his father. The king decided to punish his son cruelly, but nothing changed: Prahlada was not going to worship his father. That is why her aunt decided that the only possible solution was to kill the prince and invited him to sit on a pyre with her, who was wearing a fireproof cloak that protected him from the flames. But, at that moment, the mantle changed ownership and protected Prahlada, who saw her aunt die in the flames. The god Vishnu, the one whom the prince worshiped, appeared just at that moment and killed the arrogant king.

The Holi festival and celebrations begin the morning after the Holiká bonfire. There is no tradition of celebrating puja (prayer), and the day is for partying and pure enjoyment.  

During these days the arrival of spring is commemorated, and for this, water is mixed with a colored powder from different herbs, which were traditionally nim, kumkum, jaldi, bilva and other medicinal herbs, which according to Ayurveda experts, they helped to avoid fevers or constipations caused by the change of season. Children and groups of young people use this mixed solution to fill water pistols, baloons and spray others with the color solutions.

SARI - TRADITIONAL INDIAN DRESS

For tastes, the colors. And for colors, the Indian saris.

The word "sari" means "strip of cloth" in Sanskrit. But for Indian women - and some men - who have wrapped themselves in silk, cotton, or linen for millennia, these bands of fabric are more than just garments. They are symbols of national pride, ambassadors of traditional (and cutting-edge) crafts and design, and a perfect example of the differences between the 29 states of India, i.e. there are various forms of Sari and also there are various ways of wearing it.

The first mention of saris appears in the Rigveda, a Hindu hymn book dating from 3000 BC; these garments also appear in Indian sculptures between the 1st and 6th centuries. What Chishti describes as the "seamless magic garment" is ideal for the warm climate of India and the modest dress customs of the Hindu and Muslim communities.

Wherever they go, saris seekers will marvel at the piles of neatly folded silks, cottons and colored gauze. A sari can be bought for as little as $ 20 from a street stall or for $ 10,000 in exchange for a Benares beauty.

CHITTORGARH

Chittorgarh is a city and municipality in Rajasthan, near Udaipur. Chittorgarh is located on the banks of river Gambhiri and Berach.   It’s known for the honey-colored, 7th-century Chittorgarh Fort, a vast hilltop complex with the remains of many temples and monuments. The 15th-century, 9-story Vijay Stambh (Tower of Victory) is built from red sandstone and white marble. The famous Chittorgarh fort was built by the Maurya rulers in the 7th century. The fort stands tall till today and is the most famous tourist attraction of the district. The fort was attacked thrice by different rulers but it didn’t lose its impregnability. In the 15th century, the place was ruled by Maurya Rajputs and remained a capital of Mewar till 1568 AD. The Mewars then shifted their capital to Udaipur.

Chittorgarh is the largest Fortress in all of India with a perimeter of about 13 km and inside it houses various palaces, temples, water ponds and two towers, one of the Fame of the s. XII and another of the Victory of the s. XV.

It was here that the events that gave rise to the Sufi epic poem collected in the film Padmaavat unfolded.

In 1303, the Sultan of Delhi of Turkish origin Alauddin Khalji laid siege to Chittorgarh for 8 months before conquering it. Legend has it that their objective was to capture the beautiful queen Padmini and that the queen and other women of the court performed the "Jauhar" or mass immolation at bonfires to avoid falling into the hands of the victors.

Later in the year 1567 the Emperor Akbar returned to conquer Chittorgarh to be returned again to the Mewar by Jahangir the son of Akbar.

Chittorgarh Fort has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2013.
