There was a lot of buying of colours in the shops of Junga area

On the occasion of Holi, the festival of colours, a lot of enthusiasm was seen in the Junga market. In the shops of rural areas of Junga, the traders have displayed different types of colours and people have bought colours in large numbers. In Hindu scriptures, Holi is such a festival in which all people forget their mutual enmity and celebrate Holi with joy and express their happiness by putting colours on each other. Let us tell you that the festival of Holi is being celebrated on March 14 in the Junga area. During this time, Holi is played only during the day, but in the Keonthal area, the flag ceremony and Holika Dahan are not performed like in Trigarta.
Note that the history of Holi is connected to devotee Prahlad. Hiranyakashipu had made his son, Prahlad, sit in the lap of his sister Holi to sacrifice him in the fire. Holi was not supposed to catch fire, but by the grace of God Prahlad was saved from the burning fire and Hiranyakashipu’s sister was sacrificed in the fire. This is why Holi is burnt on the evening of the full moon day of the month of Falgun, meaning that good and evil are considered to be victorious. Apart from this, the history of Holi played by Lord Krishna with the gopis is also connected to this festival.
