Holi 2026
Holi, the festival of colours, is a significant Hindu celebration marking the triumph of good over evil. The festival is rooted in the legendary tale of Prahlad and Holika, where the evil Holika was consumed by fire, while Prahlad, a devoted follower of Lord Vishnu, remained unharmed. The celebrations typically span two days, with Holika Dahan on the first day, followed by Holi, where people throw coloured powders and water at each other.
People also enjoy delicacies like 'gujiya', 'mathri', 'malpuas', 'bhang', and 'thandai'. The festival also marks the arrival of spring.
