Why clothes worn on Holi are often discarded afterwards
Holi's tradition of discarding clothes after the festival stems from a blend of practicality, symbolism, and the nature of modern dyes. While historically old clothes were worn to embrace the mess, today's synthetic colours permanently stain fabric, making reuse difficult. This practice also offers a symbolic release from the past year's negativity and a fresh start.
