About the Event
Holi is an ancient Hindu tradition and is also one of the most popular festivals in Hinduism. It celebrates the eternal and divine love of the god Radha Krishna. The day also signifies the triumph of good over evil. Khar Danda Koliwada is one of the oldest settlements of Mumbai, a land where the fishermen of Mumbai live. Annually independent groups of this fishermen's village celebrate Music Festival. The Republic of Danda, A.B.C.D Boys situated in the heart of Khar Danda Village have been celebrating so for centuries. Here Holi is celebrated the day after our ancestral Warin Pada Holi is completed. Warin Pada a small gaothan of Danda Koliwada celebrates Holi 2 days before the actual date. Warin Pada is one of the first public Hindu festivals ever granted by the British -India government, which was approved on the 12th of March, 1922. Before this every year the fishermen's from Khar Danda used to gather wood from Bandra for the annual holi bushfire tradition. But, once due to the lack of trees available in the Khar and Bandra area, they started visiting other nearby villages, which resulted in heated arguments and violent fights between the fishermen of Khar Danda & the other nearby villagers who accused them of stealing wood from wells and carts. A tale follows that The Goddess Holika appeared to the fishermen and commanded them to always celebrate Holi 2 days prior to the Hindu calendar so that there is sufficient wood available for all. Then Carter Perry Sr, a suburban collector of British was amused to hear this tale and officially gazetted this festival on the 12th of March, 1922. Since then Holi is celebrated 2 days before the actual date. Also, Mumbai Police is always the guest of honor present to celebrate along with the villagers.
