Holi – The Festival of Colours & Joy!

Tweet

Holi, the colourful celebration, is rapidly approaching! This spring festival celebrates the triumph of good over evil and is mostly observed in Nepal and India. ?? During this period, there will be happiness, unity, and, naturally, fun colour battles! Holi unites people in a beautiful way. Friends, relatives, and even strangers join together to splatter colours, dance to joyful music, and indulge in mouth-watering delicacies like gujiya and thandai. Laughter, joy, and an easygoing attitude permeate the space. Beyond the lighthearted aspect, Holi holds profound mythological and cultural importance. In the story of Prahlad and Holika, it represents the victory of virtue and fidelity against arrogance and wickedness. As a symbol of this triumph, many people build bonfires the night before Holi (Holika Dahan). Despite the joy, it's critical to celebrate responsibly, which includes utilising organic colours and being cognisant of personal boundaries and the environment.
