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>

Personal Finance Tips
The coronavirus pandemic has completely changed the way that you can send your money abroad, and you need to stay on top of what you can and can’t do when it comes to sending your money abroad.
The money transfer methods that you used in 2019 may not be the best way to send money abroad right now, as you don’t want to put yourself, your family, or others members of the public at risk.
Here are the main ways you can send money, along with some information about how they have changed since the coronavirus pandemic:
Using your bank
Sending money with the bank that you use for your day-to-day money management was a very popular method before the pandemic, but since lockdown restrictions forced people to stay at home, trips to the bank were made very difficult.
Because of this, many more people decided to find alternative methods, such as using an online money transfer company, and found that the fees were much lower and the exchange rates much better with these new methods. And as a bonus, they didn’t have to spend any time travelling or queueing up!
Using a high-street transfer company
You’ll find a number of money transfer outlets in off licences and post offices that will let you send money abroad for a cash pick-up or straight to a bank account, but similarly to high street banks, lockdown has shown people that there are better options out there that don’t require travelling from the comfort of home!
High-street transfer companies sometimes have really high fees and poor exchange rates depending on which pick-up method you choose, so be careful!
Using an online transfer company
Sending money online from a smartphone app or your laptop might just be the easiest method because you don’t need to leave home, and so there is no chance of contracting or spreading coronavirus on your way to sending money!
Sending money abroad online is usually low-cost, with flat fees and excellent exchange rates. Many people have switched to online transfers since lockdown, and have absolutely loved the experience and the price!
Using a foreign exchange broker
If you’re sending a large amount of money abroad, or you’re a business, then you may choose to use an FX broker. You should be careful though because the fees can be very high and you may not think that it’s worth paying lots of commission to send your money! Signing up with an FX broker usually takes a couple of days, but thanks to coronavirus it can take even longer.
You’ll be able to find lots more options for sending money much more cheaply online, and if you’re a business you should check out services like Paysend Business.
Taking the money yourself
Before lockdown restrictions came into force, many people would move their money abroad simply by taking it themselves when traveling to visit friends and family abroad. Clearly, this is very expensive to do and in some cases impossible thanks to coronavirus travel limitations.
In addition, taking physical cash and physically crossing borders can increase the risk of transmitting the virus to your loved ones, so should be avoided wherever possible.
