Özet

Holi, Hindu nüfusun yoğun olduğu Hindistan ve Nepal gibi ülkelerin yanı sıra Hinduların bulunduğu dünyanın diğer bölgelerinde de kutlanan bir hahar bayramıdır. Holi kutlamasının son zamanlarda bilhassa Batı ülkelerinde yaygınlaştığı dikkati çekmektedir. Hindistan’da bayramın coşkuyla kutlandığı merkez olan Mathura ve Vrindavan başlıca turist güzergâhlarıdır. Hindu kültürünü tanımak isteyenler özellikle Holi döneminde bölgeyi ziyaret ederler. Bayram genellikle ilk gün şenlik ateşinin yakılması ve ertesi gün de insanların birbirlerine renkli su ve toz atmalarıyla devam eder. İşte bu makalede, evrensel bir olgu haline gelen Holi bayramının önemi, kutlanma dönemi, mitolojik kökeni ve kutlamalarda dikkat çeken uygulamalar ele alınıp tartışılacaktır.
