About Holi

Holi is a popular ancient Hindu festival celebrated primarily in India and Nepal. Known as the "Festival of Colors" or the "Festival of Love," it signifies the triumph of good over evil and the arrival of spring. During Holi, people gather to throw brightly colored powders (gulal) at each other, creating a joyful and vibrant atmosphere that breaks down social barriers and brings communities together in celebration.
