Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: An intense spectacle begins, like a carnival in Rio in a dark form. This is an ancient ritual called Masan ki Holi. A fervently celebrated festival in the colors of death from the ashes of a cremated body.
The aura of this event covers the crowds devoted to the great Lord and ruler of Benares-Lord Shiva with white dust. It's a kind of fun in Holi, but not with color, but with ashes straight from the cremation pyre. At times, the event began to resemble the carnival of masks in Venice, in which carefully painted hosts, successively, impersonate all the transformations of Lord Shiva. You can see the love of the festival at every turn. The hosts of the event paint themselves and impersonate Gods and Goddesses. There are no gender boundaries. Men were painted as goddesses, and women were disguised as strong men. The pride in their eyes fills with delight. They greet the crowds with delicate gestures like Caesar. Some even feel like the Lord of Benares. According to mythology, this tradition represents Lord Shiva's acceptance and love for all beings, visible and invisible. Hence, supernatural beings such as ghosts and vampires could also be encountered. Each of them, regardless of the creations, went very deep into their role.
