Sample 1]: Essay on Holi or Fagu (284 words)
Nepal is one of the richest countries in the world for
festivals. The festivals may be social, religious, or national. All the
festivals do not fall in the same months. We celebrate them in different
months. Among them, Fagu Purnima, or Holi, is one of the most important
festivals of love and friendship.
Holi is observed or celebrated on the full moon day of Falgun.
People start lighting firewood at the crossroads or in the streets during Holi,
which is known as "Chirag".
Because of the mild climate, people neither feel hot nor cold.
Therefore, people in typical or common dress go to each other's. They meet each
other and give and receive abir, or dry red powder. Other colours are also used
apart from red. In some parts of Nepal, they celebrate it with a Fagu band,
which can be seen in Palpa, Bhairabasthan, for example.
It is said that people have been celebrating Holi since the
death of Holika. According to the legend, the demon king. Hiranyakashyap, asked
his sister to sit on fire, taking Prahlad on her lap because Holika was blessed
to not burn. As Prahlad was a follower of Lord Bishnu, the fire turned Holika
into ashes, but Prahlad was safe. Since then, people have started to share
their happiness with each other with different colored powders. It has helped
to bring social unity.
Nowadays, it is celebrated in the wrong way. People, especially
young guys, throw dirty water or lolas, damaged eggs and other various garbage
at the students before Holi Day and make them arouse negative feelings towards
Holi.
To conclude, Holi is of social importance and should
remain forever as a festival of love and unity.
