About Holi
Holi, the festival of colours, is celebrated the day after the full moon of the Hindu month of Phalguna, which usually falls in March. The dates here are for Rangwali Holi, the day people throw coloured powder and water, as observed in India.
The evening before is Holika Dahan, when communities light bonfires to mark the victory of good over evil.
A Short History
Holi's bonfire recalls the legend of Prahlad, a devotee of Vishnu who survived when his aunt Holika tried to burn him, while she was consumed by the flames. The colours are tied to Krishna and Radha: in the Braj region around Mathura and Vrindavan, where Krishna grew up, the celebrations last more than a week and include the famous Lathmar Holi of Barsana. The festival also welcomes spring and the wheat harvest in northern India.
