We all know about the significance and the legends behind the Holi celebrations, but you must be hearing for the first time that the Holi in Himachal Pradesh or Sangla of Kinnaur Valley to be precise is celebrated with as much vigour and enthusiasm as anywhere else in the country.
The Holi Festival in Sangla is part of a four-day Faguli Festival, in which Holi is celebrated on the third day, and the most surprising fact about the celebration is that it is played not only with dry colours but also with snow.
The Holi festival in Sangla is really crazy and you should definitely see the enthusiasm and vigour in people when they celebrate the festival of colours.
On the first day, a dish is made out of buttermilk called Totu and roasted barley flour, which is distributed among everyone else in the form of Prasad.
It’s like watching the theatre of the ancient times. The Faguli Festival is celebrated by the people of the Kinnaur Valley, and they are seen lighting oil lamps just like they do in Diwali.
So to sum up, we can say that the Faguli festival is a unique blend of the two major festivals of India, which are Diwali and Holi, which makes Holi in Sangla a must-visit festival to be a part of.
Holi in Sangla is one of the most unique celebrations in the country and everyone should at least visit this place once during the festival because we are sure you must have not seen anything like this before. To understand the true diversity of India, one should take part in this festival.
Holi in Sangla is more of a carnival rather than a festival, which is celebrated over the course of three to four days offering multi colour visuals at a place that remains deserted during the winter months but gets filled with vibrant colours as Holi marks the end of winters and beginning of of the summer season.
