Holi

Holi, also known as the festival of colors, is a Hindu religious occasion celebrated for a day and a night, which starts in the evening of Purnima or the Full Moon Day in the month of Falgun. It is one of the most revered and celebrated festivals of India and it is celebrated in almost every part of the country. It is considered the second biggest Hindu festival after Diwali, and the celebrations last for two days - Choti Holi or Holika Dahan and Dhulandi or Rangwali Holi. Holi marks the celebration of the victory of good over evil. The festival falls in the Hindu calendar month of Phalgun, which usually falls between February and March. On this day, people play with colours, water, flowers and more, children and adults smear Gulal on each other, and people seek the blessings of their elders. People visit their friends and relatives and also relish Holi delicacies like gujiya, thandai, and more after playing Holi.
