Objection to Kashi Masan Holi: Actually, many such festivals are celebrated in the religious city of Kashi which are unique to the world. One name included in this event is Masan Ki Holi, in which a large number of people play Holi with ashes amidst the burning pyres at the Mahacremation ground of Varanasi, just before the Holi festival.
But this year also a controversy seems to be deepening regarding this event. Like last year, this time too the Kashi Vidvat Parishad has expressed its objection to the Holi of Masan and has clearly said that this is an act of defaming Sanatan Dharma.

This will spread distortion in the society – Prof. of Kashi Vidvat Parishad. Vinay Kumar Pandey
When ABP Live asked Prof. of Kashi Vidvat Parishad regarding the Holi celebration of Masan. When we talked to Vinay Kumar Pandey, he said that this type of event is not mentioned anywhere in the scriptures. Manikarnika Ghat and Harishchandra Ghat are the places of mourning.
The place definitely has spiritual significance for the last journey of the dead to seek salvation, but any such event is harmful. Naturally, any family member sitting there is in mourning or pain and doing such a dance and song at the same place or organizing such an event in the name of tradition is like tarnishing Sanatan Dharma.
This will spread distortion in the society, earlier also objections were raised regarding this that it is indecent.

Crowd of lakhs gathers in Holi of Masan
Just before Holi, lakhs of people reach Harishchandra Ghat, Manikarnika Ghat in Varanasi to play Masan Holi. There has been a lot of crowd since last few years.
The most important thing is that people from the youth group attend this event, about which different religious leaders had also raised objection that the people of the household should not go to such an event.
