📝 About Holi 2026
Holi is a joyous Hindu spring festival known worldwide as the Festival of Colors, rooted in several mythological narratives. The most prominent recalls the devotion of Prahlada and the burning of the demoness Holika, symbolizing the victory of good over evil. Celebrations begin on the eve of the full moon with Holika Dahan, a ritual bonfire representing the destruction of negativity. The following morning, people of all ages take to the streets to throw brightly colored powders called gulal and spray colored water at one another, dissolving social barriers of caste, age, and gender. Traditional treats such as gujiya, thandai, and puran poli are shared among friends and family. The festival is most exuberantly celebrated across India and Nepal, but Holi events now take place in cities around the world, from London to New York to Sydney. Beyond its religious roots, Holi has become a universal celebration of spring, renewal, and the joy of human connection.
