On the first day we worship Gauranga Mahaprabhu which is followed by burning of straw hut. From the next day people can play with colours but nowadays except for small children people hardly do that. Instead everyone is busy with sports which are organized at every localities. People in groups also sing devotional songs and it is called Holi pala. At night folk dance called thabal chongba is organized in some localities.

Here in Rajasthan folk dance of Holi is call fag. It begins before 15 day of holi. In night some people gathered at some place and burn fire than they play folk songs of Holi in Rajasthani language.

Here in Rajasthan we also celebrate Sheetla Astmi which is celebrated after one week of Holi. This day is also known as "Basoda" in local language, which came from name "Basi" means food cooked on previous night, and people eat food cooked on the next day morning. This link explains more about the festival:

Holi is one of the most important festival for Hindus and celebrated all over the country, then is there any special reason not to be celebrated in A.P.?

Yes. The reason is, in the past some youngsters instead of using natural colors started using some synthetic colors that led to blinding. The AP government took this step to ensure such accidents.

Of course the new generation observe Holi in a normal way only in the morning. 

Holi is not celebrated in any of the southern states like so many other festivals that are regional and not celebrated all over the country like Raksha bandhan ..


Pay no mind to those who talk behind your back, it simply means that you are two steps ahead !!!

You mean to say that the Andhra Pradesh Government banned the celebration of Holi??? I very much doubt that as it would violate the fundamental rights of a person.

AP government did not ban Holi. But set some precautionary measures to observe Holi in a safe way. As I said earlier Holi  in general is  not celebrated in Southern States. But some younger generation of late  celebrating Holi

 In this process. , youngsters use synthetic colors instead of natural colors which lead to blinding.
