Get ready for Holi Festival 2017

Holi is a colorful and most fun-filled festival which is celebrated in the month of March, usually in the latter half of the month. Also known as the Spring Festival, Holi marks the end of the cooler winter months and the beginning of spring, a celebrated season as it brings warmer days, new produce, love and joy.

The most popular one is related to the killing of Holika. The story centers around an arrogant king who wanted everyone in his kingdom to worship him. But his son Prahlad refused and worshipped Lord Vishnu instead. He attempts to kill his son but fails each time. Finally, the king’s sister Holika who is said to be immune to burning, sits with the boy in a huge fire. However, the prince Prahlada emerges unscathed, while his aunt burns to death. Holi commemorates this event from mythology, and huge bonfires are burnt on the eve of Holi as its symbolic representation.
Great excitement can be seen in people on the next day when it is actually the time for the play of colours. Shops and offices remain closed for the day and people get all the time to get crazy and whacky.


It is a two-day festival. The first day is the bonfire night which is known as ‘Holika Dahan’ which is known as ‘Choti Holi’ and the second day is when the main celebration with colours takes place.

Very next day of Holi is for social bonding and on this day, people visit each other’s house where they greet each other.
Some people make natural Holi colours rather than buying them from the market. These colours are 100% herbal and nature-friendly where the blue  colour is obtained from indigo, yellow from sunflower and turmeric and orange from marigold flowers.

It is a festival, with dancing, singing, and throwing of powder paint and colored water.

Holi is known for water fights. Coloured water is filled with water balloons and water guns and sprayed on people along with dry powdered colour.

There is a popular saying in Holi i.e. ‘Bura na mano Holi hai’ which means “don’t mind, its Holi.”

Indian Holi is very similar to Spanish festival “La Tomatina” with the only difference of colours replacing the ripe tomatoes.
