Holi Festival of Colors
IndiaFestivalsDate pending official confirmation
In India, Holi—the festival of colours—welcomes spring, marks winter’s end and invokes a good harvest. Its Hindu traditions celebrate the love of Radha and Krishna, while also recalling the triumph of good over evil through Vishnu as Narasimha. During this joyful night-and-day celebration, people may sing, dance and playfully throw gulal, the traditional coloured powder, along with water. Across India, streets and public spaces can become vivid, communal places of celebration, though customs vary. Holi falls around mid-March by the Gregorian calendar; check current official dates and local arrangements before planning your visit.
