Summary edit

Description
English: According to Hindu calendar, Festival of Holi is celebrated on Phalgun Purnima. All the bad things are get vanished in the fire of Holi. So, holi is the symbol of victory of good over evil. In Konkan region of Maharashtra, and specifically in Ratnagiri district, festival of Holi is called as Shimaga (शिमगा) or Shimagotsav (शिमगोत्सव) in Marathi. Here, it is celebrated in the period from fifth day of Phalgun to first day of Chaitra month of Hindu calendar i.e. almoist for 25 days. Traditions slightly vary in every village, but the level of enthusiasm & devotion is same and huge. Performance of folk art is seen in this period. Generally, devotees visit temples to seek blessings of God. But in this period of Shimagotsav, Palanquins of Deities of every village visit all homes in village. So, obviously devotees feel honoured and they perform rituals of God. Idols of deities are placed in wooden Palanquins (Palakhi). Folk dance is performed by lifting this Palanquin on shoulder by two men and dancing in circular manner. One by one, another man takes palanquin on his shoulder while dancing. This is called as Palakhinrutya (पालखीनृत्य) in Marathi. Sometimes, one person holds the Palanquin on his head and dances. Mainly this dance is performed by men. But sometimes women also perform this dance. Drum & Tasha (ढोल-ताशा) also played while dancing which adds excitement. This dance is done very skillfully so that there should not be any harm to Diety in Palanquin. This folk dance is the heritage of skill, power & devotion.
मराठी: हिंदू कालगणनेनुसार फाल्गुन महिन्याच्या पौर्णिमेला होळी पौर्णिमा साजरी केली जाते. होळीच्या अग्नीत वाईट गोष्टींचा नाश होतो, अशी श्रद्धा आहे. महाराष्ट्रातल्या कोकण भागात आणि प्रामुख्याने रत्नागिरी जिल्ह्यात होळीला शिमगा किंवा शिमगोत्सव असे म्हणतात. तिथे फाल्गुन शुद्ध पंचमीपासून साधारणतः गुढीपाडव्यापर्यंत म्हणजे चैत्र शुद्ध प्रतिपदेपर्यंतच्या काळात शिमगोत्सव साजरा होतो. प्रत्येक गावातल्या पद्धती आणि परंपरांमध्ये थोडा-फार फरक असतो; मात्र सर्वत्र उत्साहाचं वातावरण असतं. या काळात लोककलांचा आविष्कार पाहायला मिळतो. एरव्ही वर्षभर भक्त देवांच्या मंदिरात जातात; मात्र शिमग्याच्या काळात ग्रामदेवतेची पालखी घरोघरी जाते. भक्कम लाकडी पालखीत ग्रामदेवतांच्या उत्सवमूर्ती म्हणजे रूपे ठेवलेली असतात. त्यामुळे त्या रूपाने देवच आपल्या घरी येतो अशी भक्तांची भावना असते. या पालख्या नाचवल्याही जातात. या लोककलेला पालखीनृत्य असं म्हणतात. दोन बाजूला दोघांच्या खांद्यावर घेऊन पालखी वेगाने गोल फिरवून नाचवली जाते. नाचताच नाचताच पालखी नाचवणारी माणसं बदलत राहतात. काही वेळा काही व्यक्ती डोक्यावर पालखी घेऊन एकट्यानेही नाचवतात. जोडीला सुरू असलेल्या ढोल-ताशेवादनामुळे पालखी नाचवायला अधिक उत्साह येत जातो. देवतांच्या मूर्तीला काहीही होणार नाही अशी काळजी घेऊन हे कौशल्यपूर्ण पालखीनृत्य केलं जातं. प्रामुख्याने पुरुषच पालखीनृत्य करतात; मात्र काही ठिकाणी महिलाही पालखीनृत्य करतात. ही लोककला म्हणजे परंपरेने जपलेला कौशल्याचा, भक्तीचा आणि क्षमतेचा वारसा आहे.
