“Bura na mano, Holi hai,” or, “Do not mind, it’s Holi!”

- Text Shreya Acharya https://bit.ly/3b88gxw

Holi is one of the major festivals of India and is celebrated on different dates every year. This Indian festival follows two legends, and is observed at the end of winter, in the month of March, after the full moon. The ritual starts by lighting up the bonfire one day before the day of Holi, symbolisin­g the triumph of good over the bad. On the day of Holi people play with colours and drench each other in coloured water through water guns or balloons.
