Holi Festival Of Colour | Planet Earth II | Cities Behind The Scenes

This music is lot better than whatever Bollywood is giving us in the name of music.

It's Hindu celebration of colours in the name of lord kishna an avatar of lord Vishnu.

It is celebrated on a hindu mytholigical event
A demoness tried to kill her nephew by taking him on his lap and sitting on fire, as she had the boon of not burning with fire , but the demoness got burnt and the child survived

Hence we celebrate with colours (no one knows why) on the day and burning leaves at night to commemorate the burning of the demoness, or all the evil of the world.
Many believe it is one of the most pagan festivals of India, along where diwali, the festival of lights. Strange thee festivities survived

Strangers put colours on anyone without consent

That is the main magic of holi

Sean Oops No strangers put colours on anyone without their concent.

Win V thank u

Pinapple411 : hinduism is not religion its the way of life, it is very rigid or soft religion which promotes peace and tranquility among menkind, in hinduism every one invited without change of there own religion, hindu believes whole world is one family.
plz once come rajesthan or goa.

Pinapple411 The festival is within a fortnight.

Honeybee It's unnamed. It's indian classical symphony.

Your sister

normal bhamshoe you

Yeah because it's not America where we ruin everything with crazy and greedy people

No. Unlike America they actually pay attention to what is put in things. It's dyed with organic things

Shoulders of Giants yes it's too bad for lungs.
that why we have so much population and we living for generations playing this game.

Shoulders of Giants no the colours are organic

Just in case you don't knw what bhang is visit my channel there is one video about Holi + bhang

The rain cleans it up

And we do it a bit too

Come on, it is one festival once a year. Once a year it is excusable

Choo Choo MotherTrucker , people won't clean it, the rain will eventually.

? How is it smart?

@Shivam Shukla can you provide me reference for last two para because I am interested from where you have got this gyan.

Legend is that it is celebrated for the burning of Holika who was trying to kill her nephew, a believer, Prahlad.
So a symbolic Holika is burned in the night, and the next day colours are played.
However like almost all religions, playing colours could be older than the religious legend itself. Playing colours is symbolic more for coming of summers and a rich potential harvest.

You should know . If you celebrate . I don't know . What bother you . I did not mean to hurt someone feeling .

what is the purpose of any festival?

I have watched all the episodes,here you go

Holi is orignated from Hindu temple named Pralhadpuri temple in Multan, as Puranas dictate that a Rakshasi(similar to demon but not equivalent) named Holika sit on pyre covered herself with a cloth with the help of which she will not be burned and she take her nephew pralhad into her lap not to be covered by same cloth that is protecting Holika because Pralhad father himself a Rakshasa was angry with his son after seeing his son devotion to bhagwan Vishnu because of which he wants to killed his son and Pralhad agreed to sit on pyre because it his father command, so pyre is burned and because of Bhagwan Vishnu's maya cloth covered Pralhad and exposed Holika to fire due to which Pralhad lived and Holika burned and after that bhagwan Vishnu takes Narsimha avtara to kill Pralhad's father for this adharma due to this reason Hindu celebrate Holi.
People perpetuating myth of holi as spring festival or something to do krishna's skin color are imbecile of 1st order.

It's a celebration for coming of spring season in India

Rebecca...if you don't know about anything...it's better not to comment...half knowledge is dangerous...no knowledge is suicidal...use Google

Rebecca Johnson new begginings, new season, forgetting old grudges and making friendship.....thats the festival is about. What you said is a concocted myth.

Ahmed amini you people deserved Christchurch like massacre every hour.

Ahmad Amini and what about you killed innocent animals in Eid .
Atleast we dont kill animals

O yes all chemical factories built by you people are very good. All fertilizer create by you are good. All GM seeds created by you people are very good. All weapons created by you is very good.

well still its a surprising fact that india is holding 2nd position for its population.

so stupid...if that was the case then millions would have had it by now,its made from natural materials....

John Steinbeck still better than lying naked on beach and burning themselves and getting a skin cancer later!

Welcoming spring and harvest and stuff

And also to burn the evil in lives and fill us with colours

Welcoming spring
