Different types of Holi celebrations in India

Holi, also known as the festival of colours, is one of the most important festivals celebrated in the country.

Clouds of colours in the air, kids running armed with pichkaris, gulal smeared faces, bhang spiked thandai, gujia and dahi vadas beautifully served in plates is how Holi is celebrated in different ways in India.

Though the way of celebrating the festival differs from state to state, but the spirit and enthusiasm remain the same.

There are multiple ways Holi is celebrated across the nation. Let’s have a look at them.

Lath Mar Holi in the Braj Region, Uttar Pradesh

The moment we hear the word Holi, we correlate it with Vrindavan and the Braj region. Traditionally associated with Lord Krishna, the localities in the Braj Region, like Agra, Mathura, Nandgaon, Vrindavan, and Barsana, are the major tourist attractions during the Holi season.

This is the famous celebration of "Lathmar Holi" where lathmar women with their laathis (sticks) hit men with shields. . It is super fun to watch the whole ceremony from a distance where all the people from Vrindavan gather at the terrace and the windows of the houses to watch this practice. . .

In these localities, especially in Barsana, people celebrate Lath mar Holi in the Radha Rani temple’s compound. In this ritual, women beat up men with sticks (Lathi) as the men sing Holi songs. This unique form of celebration denotes men singing to gather women’s attention and women protecting themselves by chasing men away with sticks.

Kumaoni Khadi Holi

The uniqueness of the Kumaoni Holi lies in its being a musical affair in the form of Baithki Holi, Khari Holi and the Mahila Holi. The Baithki Holi and Khari Holi are unique in that the songs on which they are based have a touch of melody, fun and spiritualism. These songs are essentially based on classical ragas. No wonder then the Baithki Holi is also known as Nirvana Ki Holi or Holi of Salvation.

Kumaoni Khadi Holi (Others)

Hola Mahalla, Punjab

On this three-day grand festival, mock battles, exhibitions, display of weapons, etc., are held followed by kirtan, music and poetry competitions. This festival is observed by Nihang Sikhs. They exhibit martial arts and sing their hearts out on this day, that is usually celebrated a day before Holi.

Bengali Holi

Holi is known as Dol Purnima in Bengal and Orissa, celebrated in most sophisticated style by using dry colours. Concoction of Chau dance, Darbari Jhumur and Nature dance to the indigenous tunes of West Bengal's wandering Baul musicians set a mood so surreal that it is hard to put it in words.
