Happy Holi !
Today, people around the world will pelt each other with colored powder in celebration of Holi, the centuries-old holiday that is now celebrated throughout the world. Holi coincides with the beginning of Spring, and for many it’s an opportunity to indulge in the bright, colorful festivity of the new season.Google Doodle honors this tradition, and all those celebrating on this joyous day.
Color, in essence, has been a large part of the Indian consciousness. In a country as diverse and culturally vibrant as India, it is perhaps the common, simple expressions of color that hold together the multitudes of outlooks, lifestyles, and traditions. The symbolism of color stands out and controls every aspect of life in India, be it religion, politics, festivals, celebrations or even public sentiments. An interesting way of looking at all that mentioned above is to imagine a shape, structure, form, design, pattern, lattice for every color, mood, food, festival, religion, politics, finance’s and let them go loose and get interspersed with each other. Engulfing one form to make a new one. Each design creating a new pattern, with the same meaning and yet a different perspective.
India remains colorful, decorated and vibrant in more ways than one. It stands strong as perhaps the most stoic example of unity in a world so divided. And the colors and lattices that hold it together are the framework of faith, pride, and love – feelings that overcome all differences.
