HOW
TO MAKE THIS HOLI MEMORABLE?
I had heard so much about the festival of Holi, but
had never experienced it first-hand. And when I actually did, I realised that
this festival of colours is in fact one of the most fun and exciting festivals
in India.
After Marriage for my first Holi, I happened to be in
Udaipur, one of the most sacred cities in India and the experience of partaking
in the festival of Holi here was enriching and amazing, to say the
least.The Holi in Udaipur has a royal leaning as an ornate procession leaves
the palace to Manek Chowk, with horses and the royal band. This ends a large
bonfire with an effigy of Holika being engulfed in flames. The celebrations
here are more sombre.
On the eve of Holi
people make sweet delicacy known as ‘Gujiya’ which is basically a sweet
dumpling. These dumplings are stuffed with the dry-fruits, Khoyas and much more. It’s
a tradition to make gujiyas at homes which have way more value from that
purchased in the market.
In Udaipur People
are decorating each other by saying "Bura na mano, Holi hai." Singing
Bollywood songs like "Rang Barse." Bhang and Lassi
are drinks which provided out off which Bhang is drink which makes.
