Courtsey: Color TV
Holi also known as festival of coloursis, is a spring festival commemorating Lord Krishna's play with the gopikas using herbally enhanced coloured water. It is an ancient Hindu religious festival which has become popular even with non-Hindu communities in many parts of South Asia, as well as people of other communities.
It is primarily observed in India, Nepal, and other regions of the world with significant populations of Hindus or people of Indian origin. The festival has spread in parts of Europe and North America as a spring celebration of love, frolic and colours.
Holi celebrations start with a Holika bonfire on the eve of Holi where people gather, sing and dance. The following morning is free for all carnival of colours. The frolic and fight with colours occurs in the open streets, open parks, outside temples and buildings. Groups carry drums and musical instruments, go from place to place, sing and dance.
