Holi, A Festival of Colours | Wings S3E21 | WION
Welcome to another vibrant episode of Wings with your host, Johan Castell! Today, we’re embarking on a colorful journey across India and beyond, celebrating the joyous festival of Holi. From the unique Lathmar Holi in Barsana to the spiritual Bhasma Holi in Varanasi, we dive deep into the traditions that paint our world in the hues of spring. But that’s not all – we’re also taking a detour to the serene landscapes of Uttarakhand for a heritage stay and some trout fishing, then jetting off to global St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, and finally landing in Florida for a quirky conch shell blowing contest.
Holi Celebrations: Discover how Holi, the festival of colors, transcends geographical and cultural boundaries, uniting people in a vibrant celebration of life. From the playful Lathmar Holi in Barsana to the royal Holi in Rajasthan, and the spiritual Bhasma Holi in Varanasi, we explore the diverse ways this festival is celebrated across India. Witness how the festival’s essence – victory of good over evil, and love over hatred – is echoed in the joyous faces smeared in colors, everywhere from the historic streets of Mathura and Vrindavan to the palatial grounds of Rajasthan.
Heritage Stay in Ramgarh: Venture with us to Ramgarh, Uttarakhand, where we immerse ourselves in the tranquil beauty of the Himalayas. Our stay at the Seclude Taradale, a heritage property, offers a glimpse into the past with its preserved architecture and tales of its illustrious residents. Join us as we try our hand at trout fishing, a challenging yet rewarding experience that ends with a delightful culinary treat right from the waters of Ramgarh.
St. Patrick’s Day Celebrations: From the streets of Dublin to the green-dyed Chicago River, witness the global celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. Understand the historical and cultural significance of this day dedicated to the Patron Saint of Ireland, and see how different corners of the world have adopted and adapted this celebration in unique ways.
Florida’s Conch Shell Blowing Contest: Our journey concludes with an intriguing visit to the Florida Keys for the annual Conch Shell Blowing Contest.
