Importance Of Holi Festival

Cultural Significance
The cultural significance of Holi can be gauged from the fact that its origin derives reference from various mythological tales. This has led to a deep faith and respect towards the celebration of the festival, as Indians strongly believe in mythology. The moral behind all these stories is the victory of good over evil, which is a lesson for the human race. The tales instill the faith of man in the ultimate power of God and his mercy over his devotees. Holi festival is the medium through which people are inspired to lead a virtuous life. Moreover, the festival is organized at a time when the harvest is in full bloom, giving people an opportunity to rejoice.

Social Significance
The social significance of Holi is seen in the form of the message of unity and brotherhood it delivers. As per custom and tradition, people visit their friends and relatives to give them wishes and strengthen their bonds. The festival brings the nation together, as it is not just celebrated by Hindus but also by Sikhs, Christians, and Jains as well. The festival is unique, as it does not discriminate against any section of society and treats everyone equally. The social fabric and secular character of the society are strengthened since people work on building cordial relations and forgiving their hard feelings for others.

Biological Significance
Apart from the cultural and social significance of the festival, Holi considerably affects the biological system of our body. The time at which Holi is celebrated is very crucial with respect to our bodies. During the festival, the season is going through a change - from winter to summer. It is the period when people feel lethargic and drowsy. Holi provides them the opportunity to wear off their laziness by enjoying themselves thoroughly.
