About Holi

Holi celebrates the victory of devotion over ego (Holika Dahan) and the playful colors of spring (Rangwali Holi). It is tied to Krishna’s leelas in Braj and to seasonal renewal across North India, with related observances elsewhere.

How to observe

On Holika Dahan eve, many communities light a bonfire with prayers. The next day, people play with colors, share gujiya and sweets, and visit temples. Use skin-safe colors and respect local rules about water and public spaces.

Why we celebrate

How it is celebrated

Puja timing
