According to the residents of more than 100 villages in Pithoragarh district, playing Rangpanchami will defile their goddess’s place. Tar, Dharchulayethil Anwal community and the tribal community of Barpatia village of Johar region of Munsiyari still have many beliefs regarding Holi.
According to Khushal Harkotia, a resident of Harkot village, Holi with Rangacha festival is considered inauspicious here. According to some people, people who try to play Holi in this area are in trouble. So, there is a possibility of death on the family member of the angle. At every angle the cattle in the house are stolen. It is understood that playing the colors of the local villagers here means the anger of the gods.
Meanwhile, according to historian Jaiprakash Sangitalya, there was never a tradition of celebrating Holi in the hilly states. Or the people living in remote areas in the states do not have Holivar Farsi faith. Due to the development of hill states due to tourism, the people of other states have come in contact with other states, due to which the people of the original state adopted other customs. However, Holi is still considered unholy in some villages.
