Holi, the vibrant festival of colors, holds a special place in the hearts of millions, and one element that adds an extra punch to the festivities is "Bhaang." Bhaang, derived from the leaves and flowers of the cannabis plant, has been an integral part of Holi celebrations in India for centuries. It is deeply rooted in cultural and religious traditions, offering a unique and spirited experience during this joyous occasion.
Historical Significance
Bhaang has historical roots in Indian mythology and ancient rituals. It is often associated with Lord Shiva, who is believed to have consumed cannabis for spiritual and meditative purposes. The tradition of consuming Bhaang during Holi can be traced back to various folk tales and legends, creating a connection between the intoxicating herb and the celebration of colors.
