Holi

Holi is an ancient Hindu tradition occurring on March 8th each year. The vibrant festival is one of the most popular and important festivals in Hinduism and celebrates good harvests and the fertility of the land. Holi commemorates key figures in Hindu mythology such as the eternal and divine love of Radha Krishna. Holi celebrates the arrival of spring, the end of winter, the emergence of love and, for many, is a day to meet people and repair broken relationships. The festival is celebrated with people smearing each other in coloured water and bright powders making it known as the Festival of Colours, the Festival of Spring, and the Festival of Love.
