Today (25 March 2024) is the festival of Holi, the festival of colour.
The word Holi is derived from demoness Holika.
The tale of Holika and her relatives is quite interesting. According to legends, she was an Asuri who was the daughter of Kashyap and Diti. Rahu and Ketu were her sons.
Hiranyakashyap and Hiranyaksh were the brothers of Holika.
Asur king Hiranyakashyap, thanks to boons received from Lord Brahma, had become extremely powerful and almost immortal. He conquered all the worlds and assumed the title of Indra and made everyone treat him as God. But his son Prahlada, an ardent Lord Vishnu devotee refused to treat his father as a God.
Hiranyakashyap was an enemy of Lord Vishnu because Lord Vishnu had killed his brother Hiranyaksh by assuming Varah Avtar.
Angered by Prahlad’s intransigence, Hiranyakashyap planned to kill Prahlad with the help of his sister Holika. Demoness Holika had a shawl gifted by Lord Brahma that protected her from fire. Holika lured Prahlad to sit on her lap in a huge bonfire. As the fire was lit, Prahlad prayed to lord Vishnu to keep him safe. Lord Vishnu summoned a gust of wind that blew the shawl off Holika and covered Prahlad. So Prahlad was protected from fire and Holika was burnt to death.
It is believed that doing Holika puja on the eve of Holi festival brings prosperity and wealth. It is believed that Holika was created to ward off fears of all kinds, therefore she is worshipped along with Prahlad on the eve of Holi and this event is called Holika dahan. The Holika dahan takes place on the last day of Phalgun, which is a full moon day (Poornima). Holi is celbrated on the next day which is the first day of the month of Chaitra.
Lord Vishnu subsequently killed Hiranyakashyap by assuming Narsimha avatar, carefully finding loopholes in the conditions of indestructibility that Hiranyakashyap was blessed with by Lord Brahma. So Lord Vishnu had to take two avatars to kill two mighty asur brothers.
In subsequent Yug, Holi festival was also celebrated by Lord Krishna (later yug avatar of Lord Vishnu) with Gopis.
We in this blog have covered lots and lots of Holi related songs on the occasions of the festival of Holi from 2009 till 2023. 72 Holi festivals songs have been covered in the blog so far.
On the occasion of the festival of holi today (25 March 2024), here is a Holi song from “Raj Pratigya”(1958).
“Raj Pratigya”(1958) was produced by Gauri Shankar Goyal and directed by Jaswant Zaveri for Dinesh Films, Bombay. The movie had Nirupa Roy, Jairaj, Arun Ahuja, BM Vyas, Arvind Pandya, Sunder, Ramesh Sinha, Sabita Chatterjee, Sadiq Ali, Praveen Pal, Dar Kashmirietc in it.
“Raj Pratigya”(1958) had eight songs in it. Two songs have been covered in the blog so far.
Here is the third song from the movie to appear in the blog. This Holi song is sung by Lata Mangeshkar and female chorus. Bharat Vyas is the lyricist. Music is composed by Sanmukh Babu Upadhyay.
Only audio of the song is available. My guess is that it was picturised on Nirupa Roy and others playing her sahelis. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.
I take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy, colourful and safe Holi.
Song-Raadha pyaaree pyaaree haathhon mein pichkaaree (Raj Pratigya)(1958) Singer-Lata, Lyrics-Bharat Vyas, MD-Sanmukh Babu Upadhyay
