Holi is considered to be the liveliest and most joyful festival in the country.

Holi 2024: Holi is a festival of colors that marks the end of winter and symbolizes the victory of good over evil, and is celebrated in different countries every year.

Holi is considered to be the liveliest and most joyful festival in the country. This tradition begins on the eve of the Hindu holiday and usually, it lasts for two days, but it is the most anticipated as the actual day of Holi is the most looked forward to.

During celebrations, it is very important to play with bonfires and bright colors. On the day of Holika Dahan, singing and dancing are performed around a bonfire called Holika, which symbolizes the burning out of evil spirits. Various objects are often thrown into the flames: wood, dead leaves, twigs, etc.

It marks an occasion to let go and celebrate life. Families and friends gather together to playfully toss colorful paint and glitter powder at each other and into the air, soaking them head to toe in paint.

Although the origins of Holi can be traced back to South Asia, Holi is popular all over the world.
