[hum-suffer]

@kanhapriya you were very excited for this. I hope you don't mind me tagging you and hope this reaches your expectations

=================================

It all started on late afternoon a week ago when Lakshmi got a call from Ram.

"Do you have holi appropriate clothing for Dhuleti celebration?" He'd asked her after all the pleasantries.

And so had begun the lecture on the huge difference between Holi and Dhuleti and how her husband loathes wearing white on Holi and how it's reductive to wear a whole new spotless white outfit only for it to get drenched in colours of all kinds. Lakshmi had agreed, obviously, he was being very logical about it.

And thus began the search for ratty-but-respectable clothes for Lakshmi to wear on the Dhuleti celebration which would be held at the palace grounds and would be grander than ever as it is their first celebration after their marriage and Lakshmi's organisation for animals, Shashwat, will be the beneficiary of the event income.

Lakshmi is sure that Veer, Ram's manager, tattled on them to Maharani Radha.

Maa and Ram have been discussing the same with each other for the past ten minutes and now the conversation has shifted to a half Gujarati, half Hindi mix that Lakshmi doesn't even bother to follow.

Matar paneer is a better focal point, in her very humble opinion.

"You both are going to be in the spotlight, that's why I'm trying to shove some sense into you!" Maa says, glaring at Ram. She turns to Lakshmi,"You understand what I'm saying, beta, don't you? Wear your old clothes next year, it's your choice, but forgive me some grey hair this year, please."

"But, Mummy, it's a waste of time and resources to buy new clothes only to wear them once!" Ram replies, absently adding some salt to his matar paneer.

"Then I'll make a pochaa out of your clothes, bloody! Do as your mother says, for once, child!"

Lakshmi snickers and Maa gives her a conspiratory smirk while Ram looks on in betrayal.

Lakshmi shifts the conversation to the previous Dhuleti celebrations and what she should expect from them to save her husband some strife.

She often forgets he is a menace on his own.

____________________________________________________

If she didn't trust him more, Lakshmi would say that Ram is mostly doing this because he's trying to give Veer an aneurysm.

He found some of his old clothes that already have stains on them. The stains are minor, Lakshmi will admit freely. He likely forgot those clothes exist at all after putting them aside and Veer likely hid them away so Ram wouldn't insist on wearing them.

Lakshmi notes that all the stained kurtas are suspiciously floral printed.

She looks at Veer in suspicion, but he's too flustered trying to stop Ram from noticing her look.

"Your highness, please," Veer says, trying hysterically to stop Ram in a way that wouldn't end up with Ram tripping,"Your mother will be furious with me!"

"What is one to do, Veer?" Ram asks dramatically, taking a split second look at Lakshmi as she walks beside him,"My wife and I need clothes for Dhuleti and Mummy wouldn't let us wear our home clothes. I must settle for my older clothes and my darling and most understanding wife must settle for wearing my kurta."

"These are already stained," Lakshmi adds her two cents, absolutely enjoying the feel of a particular chikankari kurta in her hands that she will surely steal for comfort purposes,"This way, we will maintain decorum and also be more environmentally aware!"

Veer's eyes widen. "Not you too, your highness! Please, you know these clothes were set aside for donation."

"Yes, of course," she replies, pretending to be incredulous,"We're not going to wear all of these kurtas together, Veer, come on."

Ram stops in front of a door and pushes it open with his foot, hands loaded with different kurtas and t-shirts.

The people inside the laundry room all freeze as they see the Crown prince, the prince consort, and the crown prince's manager enter the laundry room; of which, the couple have various clothes in their arms.

An older woman comes rushing towards them with two empty baskets. Lakshmi somehow manages to grasp one of the baskets and puts it on the ground, dumping the clothes from her arms to the basket.

"Gently, please!" Ram calls out dramatically again,"I love my clothes as much as I love you!"

Lakshmi raises an eyebrow.

"Not as much, obviously, I misspoke." He corrects himself sheepishly, painstakingly putting the clothes in his arms in the basket one by one. Lakshmi decides to be petty enough to not help him.

"Your highness, you? Here?" The woman doesn't seem to be able to process what exactly is happening and Lakshmi pities her.

"We are so sorry to barge in on your work like that," she says,"We just have some clothes to wash and we'll be out of your hair as soon as possible. I am Lakshmi and you are?"

"Kalpana, your highness. Here, I'll take the clothes and return them to you."

"You don't have to do that at all, Kalpana ji," Ram says, making the poor woman freeze mid motion. "Mahadev has given us a couple of hands each, we can wash the clothes ourselves, if you'd only be so gracious to guide us to an empty washing machine."

Kalpana fumbles and looks at Veer for a split second before moving aside and leading them to a corner with an empty washing machine. Lakshmi smiles at her in thanks. "Thank you, Kalpana ji. You can go back to your work, we shan't delay you anymore."

She nods wordlessly and moves away. Veer continues to look in with trepidation as Ram and Lakshmi push up the sleeves of their tshirts.

Ram gives her a grin that tells her just how much he's enjoying this and Lakshmi, with agreement of the other workers, plays old Bollywood songs while the machine is on.

Ram drags her in a makeshift ballroom dance and she laughs at his dramatics, absolutely besotted with her husband.

____________________________________________________

Ram wears his bleached and washed white shirt and Lakshmi wears one of his floral kurtas for Dhuleti.

Maa sighs and smiles tiredly at the two of them.

Holi 2024: Date, Timings, History, Food & Celebration, and All You Need to Know

Holi 2024: Date, Timings, History, Food &Celebration, and All You Need to Know

Holi Hai!'' Listening to this, some of us will 'Rewynd' back to a time when colors weren't just shades of pixels for us but the essence of joy itself.

A time when every wall, every road, and every single person is a canvas, and we are free to paint it the way we like. The time of Holi and Dhuleti!

Picture this: every small village in India, every town, every city, buzzing with excitement as the full moon of Phalguna brightens the sky, signaling the arrival of Holi. With the laughter and playful shouts, there's an old tale being told. A tale of love, courage, and the triumph of good over evil, reminding us why we gather every year to splash colors, share sweets, and celebrate life's beautiful moments. So, grab your colors and let's dive into this vibrant story of Holi together.

What is Holi, and Why Do People Celebrate It?

Holi is a Hindu festival that celebrates the beginning of spring, good harvests, and fertility. It's also known as the Festival of Colors, Love, and Spring. 

Holi, or the 'festival of colors', symbolizes the rich tapestry of Indian culture, celebrating the onset of spring, the victory of good over evil, and the enduring spirit of community. Rooted in ancient legends, like the story of Prahlad and Holika, Holi symbolizes the triumph of faith and goodness.

It also celebrates the divine love of Radha and Krishna, showcasing the playful and delicate aspects of devotion. Beyond the mythology, Holi brings together people from all walks of life, dissolving social barriers in a shared experience of joy, forgiveness, and renewal. 

This festival reflects the essence of Indian tradition, where life is a colorful mosaic of moments shared with loved ones, celebrated with enthusiasm and open hearts.

Holi 2024 date and time:-

In 2024, Holi will be celebrated with its usual pomp and grandeur, aligning with the full moon day (Purnima) in the Hindu month of Phalguna. The exact date and the auspicious time for Holika Dahan are determined by the Hindu lunar calendar, which represents the essence of tradition and astronomical significance.

Holi and Dhuleti will be observed on March 24th and March 25th, respectively, in 2024. 

The auspicious time, or muhurat, for celebrating Holi falls between 7:19 PM and 9:38 PM on March 24. Following this, on March 25, people can joyously play Holi by sharing colors and spreading cheer amongst friends and family members.

The auspicious time (muhurat) of Holika Dahan is from 23.15.58 minutes to 24.23.27 minutes. That means the duration of Holika Dahan will last for 1 hour and 7 minutes.

What is Dhuleti (Rangwali Holi)? 

“Dhuleti” is another term commonly used to refer to the celebration of Holi, particularly in regions of India like Gujarat and Maharashtra. 

It usually occurs on the day after the main day of Holi (Badi Holi). 

During Dhuleti, people come together to play with colors, spray colored water (known as "abeer" or "gulal") on each other, dance to music, enjoy festive foods, and exchange greetings and sweets.

It's a vibrant and joyful occasion that symbolizes the triumph of good over evil and the arrival of spring.

How is Holi celebrated in different parts of India?

Fundamentally, Holi is a festival that has a celebration spread across two days. The first day is Holika Dahan, which takes place in the evening. The following day is Dhuleti, where people play with colors, flowers, and water in the morning.

Holi is celebrated with distinct traditions across different regions of India, each adding its own unique cultural flavor to the festivities.

North India (Mathura and Vrindavan): 

The birthplace of Lord Krishna, these cities observe Holi with exceptional zeal. The festivities here include the famous Lathmar Holi, where women playfully hit men with sticks, and the tradition is filled with singing and dancing.

West India (Rajasthan and Gujarat): 

In Rajasthan, royal processions and folk dances add to the Holi charm. Gujarat celebrates with the pot-breaking ritual, where men form human pyramids to reach and break pots of buttermilk.

East India (West Bengal and Odisha): 

In West Bengal, Holi, known as Dol Jatra, is celebrated with musical instruments, singing, and dancing. Idols of Radha and Krishna are placed on swings and worshipped.

South India (Karnataka and Tamil Nadu): 

While Holi is less prominent here, communities come together to celebrate with music, dance, and the exchange of sweets. The focus is more on religious aspects and temple rituals.

Where can I celebrate Holi in India?

Holi can be celebrated in any household, community, residential setting, or hotel in India, as it is a very widely celebrated festival, and you will find everyone celebrating it. 

However, to get the true sense of the Holi and Dhuleti celebrations, you must consider some special regions that take the whole celebration to the next level.

In Delhi, the festival is a musical extravaganza marked by tilak-adorned foreheads and spontaneous street parties. Varanasi's sacred ambience is heightened with colorful powders and riverside festivities. Anandpur Sahib offers a spiritual experience with martial parades and devotional music. Jaipur dazzles with elephant parades and palace events, while Goa's Shigmo brings folklore to life through parades and art. Vrindavan and Mathura draw devotees with their religious fervor, temple rituals, and less-crowded celebrations, truly showcasing India's diverse and rich festival culture.

Safety tips for Holi 2024:

Celebrating Holi safely enhances the joy of the festival. Here are some tips to ensure a safe and vibrant Holi:

Use natural colors: 

Opt for organic and natural colors that are skin-friendly and easy to wash off. Chemical colors can be harmful to the skin and hair.

Protect Your Skin and Hair: 

Apply oil to your skin and hair before playing Holi. This acts as a barrier and makes it easier to remove colors later.

Wear protective clothing. 

Long sleeves and pants can protect your skin from harsh colors and the sun.

Keep Hydrated: 

Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, as Holi celebrations often mean being outdoors for extended periods.

Eye Care: 

Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from colors, and if color gets into your eyes, rinse them with clean water immediately.

Respect Consent: 

Always ensure that you play Holi with those who are willing to participate. Respect personal space and consent.

Safe Eating: 

Enjoy Holi delicacies, but be cautious about consuming anything offered by strangers.

First Aid and Emergency Preparedness: 

Keep a first-aid kit handy for any accidental injuries, and know the emergency contact numbers.

These safety measures will help everyone enjoy Holi while keeping health and well-being in mind.

Holi is more than just a festival; it's a day that brings hearts closer, mends broken bonds, and blankets the world in a spectrum of colors. It's a time when we can all let go of our inhibitions and truly revel in the joy of being together. So, this Holi, let's spread love, joy, and the vibrant colors of togetherness.

Why Kesudo Flowers Are the Best Choice for Dhuleti (Holi)!

Kesudo flowers have inherent cleansing properties that help remove impurities from the skin while keeping it fresh and radiant. Unlike chemical colors that clog pores, Palash water gently detoxifies the skin.

These flowers are known for their medicinal benefits, often used in Ayurvedic remedies for treating skin disorders, irritations, and infections. If you have sensitive skin, Kesudo-infused water will ensure a soothing Holi experience without adverse reactions.

Synthetic Holi colors are loaded with toxic chemicals, heavy metals, and artificial dyes that can harm your skin, hair, and environment. Kesudo flowers, on the other hand, are biodegradable, organic, and safe for both you and nature.
