Vrindavan’s Hindola Utsav
Lord Krishna-the
worldwide famous deity
Who gave the lesson of ‘Karma’? Hindu deity lord Krishna is
the only one to whom its credit goes. His sayings became hit worldwide. Not
only Hindus but also, the people of other religions became part of his fans’
list. Whatever his words were, all sound sensible and have made their space in
holy ‘Gita’ (the scripture). It’s is due to his clever mind and trickery that led
handful of Pandavas to victory in the greatest war of ‘Mahabharata’ against
zillions of Kauravas’ soldiers.

Hindola Festival
Visiting Vrindavan during north India excursions in Uttar Pradesh has special arrangement of
being religious. Once a bit of this lord’s life is revealed, your sensations
and curiosity will go outrageous to peep deeply into it. Like Hariyali Teej of Rajasthan, Hindola
festival is celebrated in Vrindavan with pomp & show. However, the former
festival signifies lord Shiva and Parvati’s marriage. The latter is linked to notorious
Krishna who used to play ‘dandia’ with gopis and swing with them.
When Hindola festival
falls?
In the months of monsoon, i.e. July & August (Ashaadh
& Saawan), the divinity and festivity get mix in the air. The rain bathes
street, flora, fauna and humans to sensitize that festival season is on.
Etymology
In local dialect, Hindola means a ‘swing’.
How folk celebrates
this festival?
This festive occasion is celebrated the whole month. Temples
are flocked with pilgrims. Their ambience stays echoed with religious (bhakti)
songs, hymns and mantras. Swings decorated with flowers, leaves, vegetables,
earthen pots, fruits, dry fruits and beans are hung on. The mobile (chal) idol
of lord is kept on it and the swing is pushed to and fro.
Alongside, the cymbals, flutes and mrudanga keep on echoing
melodies & heart-wining tunes. The temples charge up with the mind-blowing
religious songs.
How this practice
began?
However, lord’s life gives you clues of how much notoriety
he used to do with his best buddies, like Sudama. Stealing milk and butter from the pots,
catapulting earthen pots, teasing and dancing with ‘gopis’ (his female fans)
made him ‘dear’ of all.
His rocking side comes forth through his rocking time spent
with gopis. The gopis might feel jolliest in his company. That’s why they used
to sway on swings with him to meet the greatest bliss. The spiritual aspect
states that his female fans (gopis) were sunk into his profound devotion. While
swaying, they might feel the height of ecstasy in his company. To get the taste
of divine joy, they never missed a bit of time.
