Parihara.com wishes you a Happy Holi and auspicious Maasi Magham.
The colorful festival of Holi is celebrated on Phalgun Purnima which comes in February end or early March. The Holi festival has its origin in the story of the demon Holika who, while trying to burn Prahlada, the great devotee of Lord Vishnu, was destroyed in the very fire she started.
In Tamilnadu, this day is also known as Maasi Magham, celebrated on the Magham day in the Tamil month of Maasi (February – March). Makam, Mahm or Makam, is one among the twenty seven stars (Nakshatras) in the astrological system. On this day, the deities are taken around in procession to the nearby rivers/tanks/sea for bath. Once in twelve years, Maasi Magam attains special significance and then it is known as Maha Maham. It is believed that those who take bath in the seas or rivers or ponds on the Maasi Magam will attain Moksha.
