This is video (1min 56sec) of Wonderful music, women singing and drumming at Holi festival, March 2006 at Maharajji's ashram in Vrindavan on Parikrama Marg. A deeply cultural and devotional moment on planet earth. This video is a bit dark but the singing is so sweet and pure and loving.
Holi (Hindi: होली) or Phagwah (Bhojpuri), is an annual and popular Hindu spring festival. It takes place over two days in the later part of February or early March. As per the Hindu calendar, it falls on the Phalgun Purnima (or Pooranmashi, Full Moon). It is also called the Festival of Colours.On the first day, a bonfire is lit at night to signify burning Holika. On the second day, known as Dhulandi, people go around until afternoon throwing colored powder and water at each other. A special drink is prepared called 'thandai' which can be laced with bhang, which actually contains small amounts of marijuana (Cannabis sativa). People invite each other to their houses for feasts and celebrations later in the evening. Rangapanchami occurs a few days later on a Panchami (fifth day of the full moon), marking the end of festivities involving colours.
