DEAR READERS,
COMING LITTLE BIT OFF-TRACK TO FOCUS ON A REAL STORY THAT BROUGHT THE LATHMAR HOLI INTO EXISTENCE.OF ALL THE FESTIVALS CELEBRATED IN NORTH INDIA , LATHMAR HOLI IS ONE OF THE IMPORTANT CARNIVALS .
IN THIS FESTIVAL, REST OF INDIA CELEBRATE IT SIMPLY BY APPLYING COLORS AND PLAYING IN WATER WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS. BUT, IN MATHURA AND NEARBY AREAS LIKE BARSANA.... WOMEN USED TO BEAT THE MEN WITH LATHIS WITH FULL FORCE.
RIDICULOUS .....RIGHT????? WHY TO BEAT THE MEN THAT ALSO IN A FESTIVAL??
GUYS, IT HAS A VERY INTERESTING STORY.
IT IS BEING SAID THAT, IT IS A RITUAL BEING FOLLOWED BY THE PEOPLE OF MATHURA AND NEARBY AREAS AS LORD KRISHNA IN HIS TIME USE TO COME AND TEASE THE GOPIS AND AT LAST GET BEATEN UP.
BUT , I CAME THROUGH AN INTERESTING FACT THAT IN OLDER DAYS MALE PEOPLE USED TO DRINK A LOT ON THE DAY OF HOLI AND MISBEHAVE IN THE PUBLIC . TO BRING SOME DECENCY BACK IN TE CROWD , THE WOMEN STARTED BEATING THE DRUNK MEN WITH LATHI AND HENCE IT BECAME POPULAR.
EITHER OF THEM BE TRUE....BUT WE AS TRUE INDIANS ENJOY THE FESTIVAL OF HOLI TO THE MOST.
