Holi is a vibrant Hindu festival celebrated primarily in India and Nepal, marking the arrival of spring and the triumph of good over evil. Rooted in the legend of Prahlada and Holika, it symbolises devotion and righteousness overcoming negativity.
Festivities begin with Holika Dahan, a bonfire ritual held the night before. The main celebration involves throwing colored powders (gulal), splashing water, singing, dancing, and sharing sweets like gujiya. Holi fosters unity, forgiveness, and renewal of relationships. Beyond its religious roots, it has become a global cultural celebration promoting joy, equality, and togetherness across communities.
