Today Holi Festival, also known as the Festival of Colours, is being celebrated in India. Across the nation streets will pulsate with energy as people of all ages come together and douse each other with vibrant powdered pigments. Here are some of our favourite facts about this famously colourful festival:⁠
⁠
The festival has its origins in ancient Hindu mythology, particularly in the legends of Prahlad and Holika, symbolising the victory of good over evil.⁠
⁠
Holi is marked by the throwing and smearing of colourful powders and water, creating a rainbow of hues in the streets and parks.⁠
⁠
One of Holi's significant aspects is its role in promoting social harmony as people from all walks of life come together to celebrate.⁠
⁠
Holi typically falls in March, marking the arrival of spring. It's also associated with agricultural traditions, celebrating the season's bounty and the onset of warmer weather.⁠
