Just on 28th of March, we had holi in India. The festival of holi perceived in India as 'victory of good over evil spirits'. Where the shops, public places as well as homes are displayed with fireworks. A large and controlled fire is burnt sturdy, after its extinguishing, it is conceived as all ill omen from life, is purged in fire and now, the entire country, idea, person, people, culture are rejuvenated. Which has inspired them to look forward towards all the auspicious coming things, that would flexibly remain till the completion of the current year, from the initiation of celebration. Similar to this, there are many events as such, happening at variety of months and dates. In a way those events denotes; although victory of good over evil, rescuing from further devastation (the 1605 incident of gunpowder, where one of the members, involved in was caught. Who guarded the explosives, buried under the house of Lords in London and intending to kill King James I), utilizing for farms and gardening, by taking its remnants of burnt ashes to restructure the soil, to reestablished fertility of-soil, crop as well as animals.
There are many countries that celebrates, holi festival but in one way or the other, it isn't much but slight differentiated in its approach.
In Canada already two entities; Irish and English are fused in. Where one can recall the incident of 1605, Samhatian and also 17 protestants were burnt alive as guilty of committing heresy(thus the sin committer is punished on this day, the reason must be of publicity though specification isn't ascribed but assumed thus). Furthermore noone can forget that this took place under observation of queens and kings, during 16-17 century in UK. It doesn't directly say anything but by its description, it says many unconveyed things, that extract out the idea of 'favorable' and 'infavourable'. Thus it entails tha idea called 'favourism'.
Like this many countries are involved; for example Australia, Japan, Iran(Sadeh Festival), Iraq, Czech Republic, Fukuoka etc.
In Autralia legislation regarding celebration of festival considered with discrimination between classes, areas, positions. Japan emphasizes on light, engulfing the entire ship, the leader of the ship considered as an auspicious guider with some guidance. The entire ship engulfed with lights all around.
Sadeh Festival celebrated in Iran, especially for the welfare of people and the king's perceivance that as this day is reminiscent for killing the snake as it seems to be happened accidentally with mere flinting of two stones altogether. This day must be celebrated(good won over evil).
It is also considered as magic day, since the solstice and equinox come together on the full moon day. Thus it is considered to be the rebirth of the deadened things as well as celebrating the arrival of spring(autumn followed by spring).
It can be deciphered from this lines, that anything exists in contradiction. Nothing can be void or considered unimportant as everything has it's own area of existence following own norms(ending and beginning are often altered, as the cycles).
While in other countries though emphasizing on light, it is also related with transference of light, with some space between each lightened objects, considering its diagram and well measured meterical distance.
If talking in context of Indian myth, associated with Holi. There is the myth of 'Holika'. According to which Holika is the sister of the king, named Hiranyakashyapu. Who has a son called Prahlada(a staunch devotee of Lord Krishna). After many unsuccessful attempts to downplay the faith of lord vishnu from Prahalada's heart, the king tricks against Holika, by placing Prahalada into Holika's lap(who had boon of Lord Brahma on her and a shawl that can protect her from all mishappenings of life). When the fire is intensely burning and spreading its flaws, Prahalada is chanting for Lord Krishna and the only shawl comes to rescue him, from the claws of his own father.
As seen in the video, the event of Chandra, including kanya rashi hadn't ever happened than in 1521. The festival is mostly celebrated at the night of Poonam, followed by the next day, of dhuleti.
Moreover bornfire is also given prominent emphasization in Industries, household chores, to sustain environmental cleanliness. While the manner and ways of firing are adopted, considering the current weather and the nature of disposing materials.
