Скачать или смотреть Faguli Festival - spring-time in Himachal Pradesh

The wildfilmsindia team 'discovered' this new festival to share with the world - see the Best of India from Himachal!

Aromatic incense, holy fires, temple bells, savoury delights, fun time with family and friends, all the love and bonding. Each element, an inseparable part of festivals, a boon in life…

There is however one festival that in addition to all these elements, also exhibits an extra tinge of obscenity. The obscenity being mentioned is not about nudity but rather an extensive use of the lowest levels of lewd language, sexual innuendos and teasing womenfolk.

According to religious standards, this festival would be considered vile. The said festival however is deeply entrenched in religion and culture. It originates from Lord Krishna’s battle with demons, signifying the victory of good over evil.

But where does the use of profanities fit in the battle against evil? Above all, the villagers, including the womenfolk feel more humored than offended by the teasing. It is an old ritual to them. The inhabitants of this pristine valley in India’s Himalayan state of Himachal Pradesh have elaborate explanations for this weird ritual.

Yes, we are talking about the Faguli Festival, celebrated in Himachal Pradesh, in North India. It is celebrated every year in honour of Lord Vishnu known here as Lakshminarayana.

It is held during the Hindu calendar month of Fagun, hence, the name Faguli. The main ceremonies are held at two villages Tandigaon and Bhallagaon during alternate years. This year Bhalla Gaon is the prime venue.
