On the day of Holi, people forget their mutual differences and apply colors and gulal to each other. Every festival is very special in many ways.
Every festival has its own significance. Besides, every festival also has different traditions and beliefs. Holi also has many traditions. One of these is the tradition of not celebrating Holi in the in-laws house of the new daughter-in-law after marriage. This tradition is followed in many parts of the country, where the daughter-in-law is sent to her maternal home on the first Holi after marriage. Today we are going to tell you the reason behind this tradition.
Why doesn’t the new daughter-in-law celebrate her first Holi at her in-laws’ house?
After marriage, there are many beliefs and notions regarding sending the new daughter-in-law to her parents’ home on the festival of Holi. According to Hindu beliefs, if the new daughter-in-law celebrates her first Holi at her in-laws’ house after marriage, then it is not auspicious at all. This practice is quite prevalent in North India, that is why after marriage, the new daughter-in-law is sent to her maternal home before Holi.
There is also a religious belief that if mother-in-law and daughter-in-law watch Holika Dahan together, then the relationship gets sour. That is why there is a tradition of sending the new daughter-in-law to her maternal home before Holi.
This is also a reason
There is a belief that if the new daughter-in-law stays in her in-laws’ house on the first Holi after marriage, troubles increase in the house. Discord also arises in mutual relationships. There is another reason hidden behind this practice. In fact, after marriage, there are often many restrictions and limitations for the daughter-in-law, under which she has to live. In such a situation, playing Holi with your husband in front of everyone can be quite uncomfortable. That’s why the daughter-in-law celebrates her first Holi at her maternal home.
