Dangaura Tharu community in Rajapur, Bardiya district, celebrate the Holika Burning festival on Fagu Purnima by igniting a fresh fire symbolizing renewal. Historically, maintaining fire for a year was vital, as creating fire was arduous without matchsticks. This practice exemplified resilience and a deep connection to ancestral customs. Nowadays, due to modern technology, maintaining fire isn't necessary; fire is at the push of a button. However, the tradition of Holika Burning is still celebrated, showcasing the community's commitment to preserving cultural heritage amidst changing times. Photos taken in March, 2022.

Imbolc 🧡 My alter dedicated to the Goddess Brigit 🧡 Brigit, a revered Celtic goddess, is intricately tied to the celebration of Imbolc, a festival marking the onset of spring. Brigit is a multifaceted deity, embodying aspects of fire, inspiration, and healing. Imbolc, derived from the Old Irish “Oimelc” meaning “in the belly,” symbolizes the stirrings of life beneath the earth as winter begins to wane. The lighting of candles and the weaving of Brigit’s crosses are customary practices, fostering a connection to the goddess’s nurturing presence and the burgeoning vitality of the approaching spring season. #Brigit #ImbolcCelebration #CelticGoddess #SpringAwakening #SacredRituals #Purification #RenewalTraditions #ImbolcMagic #GoddessHonoring #FestivalOfLight #BrigitInspiration #ImbolcTraditions #CelticSpirituality #SeasonalTransition #DivineFeminine #SpringEquinoxPreparation #NatureConnection #AncientWisdom #SpiritualRenewal #PaganTraditions
