Holi, the festival of colours, is one of the most vibrant and joyous celebrations in India and across the world. Rooted in tradition, mythology and togetherness, Holi marks the arrival of spring, the triumph of good over evil and the renewal of relationships through music, dance and colourful powders. But beyond the fun and revelry, Holi carries deep cultural and spiritual significance.<\/p>
The history and legends of Holi<\/h2>
Holi has been celebrated for centuries, with its origins dating back to ancient Indian scriptures. Several legends are associated with the festival, the most well-known being the story of Holika and Prahlad and the playful tales of Krishna and Radha.<\/p>
The legend of Holika Dahan: The victory of good over evil<\/h3>
According to Hindu mythology, Holi is linked to the legend of Prahlad, a devoted follower of Lord Vishnu. His father, the demon king Hiranyakashipu, opposed his faith and wanted him to renounce Vishnu. The king’s sister, Holika, who had a magical cloak that protected her from fire, tricked Prahlad into sitting on a pyre with her. However, as the fire blazed, the divine protection shifted to Prahlad and Holika was burned instead. This event symbolises the victory of good over evil, and the ritual of Holika Dahan \(bonfire\) on the eve of Holi represents this triumph.<\/p>
The playful love of Krishna and Radha<\/h3>
Another beloved legend behind Holi comes from the stories of Lord Krishna and Radha. It is said that young Krishna, with his dark complexion, was worried that fair-skinned Radha might not accept his love. His mother playfully suggested that he apply colour to Radha’s face, which he did, leading to the tradition of throwing colours during Holi. This playful gesture became an expression of love and unity, and today Holi is widely celebrated as a festival of joy, romance and togetherness.<\/p>
The meaning behind Holi’s colours<\/h2>
The festival is best known for its vibrant colours, which hold deeper meanings rooted in tradition and symbolism. Each colour represents a different emotion and blessing:<\/p>
Red – Love, passion and fertility<\/li>
Yellow – Prosperity, happiness and healing<\/li>
Blue – Divine energy and strength, representing Lord Krishna<\/li>
Green – Renewal, nature and new beginnings<\/li>
Pink & purple – Joy, festivity and playfulness<\/li><\/ul>
People smear each other with gulal \(coloured powders\), drench friends with water balloons and dance to traditional dhol \(drums\), making Holi one of the most exuberant festivals in the world.<\/p>

Good news, if you are seeking a simple method of supporting loved ones internationally outside of the Eurozone for less, you are in luck! Paysend is here to help you send money quickly and affordably all over the globe.
Experience the freedom to move funds to a bank account, card or e-wallet fee-free via a SEPA, helping you send and save more at the click of a button.
So what is a SEPA bank transfer?
Traditionally a SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) is a European payments network that enables you to send and receive payments in euros (€) between two cross-border bank accounts in the Eurozone, making it as easy and affordable as making a domestic bank transfer.
With Paysend’s international bank transfers, customers can move money via a SEPA just as quickly and affordably all over the world!
How to make international bank transfers via SEPA
When selecting to send money via a bank transfer Paysend automatically creates a temporary account for the corresponding banking partner.
By providing an invoice with a temporary SEPA account number, customers can transfer funds from a payment method of their choosing to this account, available for three business days, allowing your recipient to receive the funds automatically hassle-free.
Customers must transfer the exact amount they want their recipient to receive. The temporary account will reject any bank transfers contrary to the predetermined value.
Should you initiate a SEPA transfer of €500 and instead send €501 from your bank account, the SEPA transfer would cancel.
The transfer status will be visible on your profile.

Select the bank transfer funding option online or via the app
Enter the recipient bank details and the amount you wish to send. We will then provide you with a receipt for the transfer.
After receiving an invoice, send the exact amount from your bank to the temporary account listed.
