Holi continues reign as festival of colours

Holi is one of the biggest festivals that celebrates the victory of good over evil. It is celebrated with much pomp by Hindus all across the globe and is one of the biggest festivals in India after Diwali.  Holi is a celebration of the divine love between Lord Krishna and Radha. It is also marked as a harvest festival, commemorating spring's arrival and the end of winter. It will be observed on March 7-8, depending on the region.

The festival is a time of great merriment and revelry as people of all ages come together to celebrate. The use of colours is a symbol of the shedding of past mistakes and the embracing of new beginnings.  May Holi serve as a reminder to let go of grudges and come together to spread joy and love.  Holi is also called “Queen festival of the year”, “Festival of Colours”, “Festival of Love”.
