Holi, also known as the “Festival of Colours”, is predominantly a Hindu festival celebrated annually mostly in India and Nepal.

However, with the course of time, the festival has spread its wings to other parts of the world, including England, USA, and Australia, among others. In 2020, Holi will be celebrated between 9th March and 10th March.

Holirepresents the triumph of good over evil, the advent of winter and the completion of winter. The festival is also celebrated as a thanksgiving for a better harvest and lasts for a day and a night. The first evening is called Chhoti Holi or Holika Dahana. The subsequent day is called Rangawali Holi or Phagwa. Holi usually falls on the final moon of the Phalguna month.
