Holi, the festival of colours, is a time of joy, traditions, and togetherness. For many, the true essence of the festival lies in the way it is celebrated back home with vibrant streets, age-old rituals, and the warmth of loved ones.
&TV artist Shubhangi Atre (Angoori Bhabi, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai) fondly recalls the unmatched beauty of Holi celebrations in her hometown and expresses how much she misses being there this year.
However, to keep the festive spirit alive, she plans to celebrate in her special way, following cherished traditions like making gujiyas and performing rituals that connect her to her roots.
Shubhangi Atre says that Holi in Madhya Pradesh has always been close to my heart.She says, “It begins with Holika Dahan, where we gather around the bonfire, praying for prosperity and happiness. The next day, the city is drenched in colours, and the joy is infectious!
According to Shubhangi, Rang Panchami is another highlight in Indore, with grand processions, music, and dance. "Being away from home this year makes me nostalgic for those vibrant celebrations,” she says.
“But to keep the festive spirit alive, I will be making namkeen and malpua just like we do back home. I will also perform the traditional Holika Dahan prayer here, ensuring that the warmth of my hometown’s Holi stays with me, no matter where I am," Shubhangi adds.
“For me, Holi is more than just a festival it’s a feeling, a beautiful blend of tradition and nostalgia," Shubhangi says further.
