Significance of Rang Panchami
Ranga Panchami is celebrated five days after Dulendi or Holi, but it is not the usual Holi colours that paint the atmosphere around, rather it is the colour of music that has larger significance. Indore has its own style of celebrating Rang Panchami.
In Indore, the local municipal corporation sprinkles colour-mixed water on the main streets of old Indore. Earlier, they used fire brigade vehicles for this purpose.
Rang Panchami signifies the victory of Raja Tama, which is initiated on the day of Holika Dahan. As per the folklore, the fire lit on Holi decomposes the Raja Tama particles in the atmosphere and helps activate the deities in the form of colours.
Its objective is to activate the five elements of radiant manifest colours, as well as to touch and sense the deities who are drawn to the corresponding colours.
