Rang Panchami History
Rang Panchami is an ancient Hindu festival that has been celebrated in India for ages. On this festival day, people celebrate it by throwing powder colours or “gulal” and splashing coloured water on one another. As per religious beliefs, Rang Panchami commemorates the victory of Sattva Guna over the Tamasic Guna and Rajasic Guna. This signifies that all the obstacles in the path of spiritual development will soon come to an end. The purpose of Rang Panchami is to activate the five elements of radiant manifest colours and create a pure aura in the surroundings. It fills the atmosphere with positive energy, thus invoking several deities through the medium of colours. This bliss is celebrated by throwing colours in the air. Thus, Rang Panchami is a symbol of victory over raja-tama.
Rang Panchami signifies the victory of Raja Tama, which was initiated on the day of Holika Dahan. The festival is all about playing with colours, meeting relatives and friends, dancing to regional songs and having a joyous time with your loved ones. It is largely celebrated in the Malwa region, particularly in the Indore region of Madhya Pradesh.
