MiMillions of Indians celebrated
Holi on Sunday, one of the festivals of the Hindu
religion, that welcomes spring. With water and colors, Hindus needed to
express joy at the arrival of the warm season. Children, youth and
adults threw water and smeared each other in bright colors to celebrate
the holiday. No one escapes the paint on the face and the body.
According to beliefs, bright colors bring energy and joy.

Holi (????), is a
spring religious festival celebrated by
Hindus. It is primarily observed in
India,
Nepal,
Sri Lanka,[1]
and countries with large
Indic diaspora populations, such as
Suriname,
Malaysia,
Guyana,
South Africa,
Trinidad,
United Kingdom,
United States,
Mauritius, and
Fiji. In
West Bengal and
Orissa of India it is
known as Dolyatra (Doul Jatra) (Bengali:
?????????), or Basanta-Utsav
("spring festival")(Bengali:
?????????), . The most celebrated
Holi is that of the Braj
region, in locations connected to the Lord
Krishna:
Mathura, Vrindavan,
Nandagaon, and
Barsana. These places
have become tourist destinations during the festive season of Holi,
which lasts here to up to sixteen days.[2]
The main day, Holi, also known as Dhuli Vandana in Sanskrit,
also Dhulheti, Dhulandi or Dhulendi, is celebrated
by people throwing coloured powder and coloured water at each other.
Bonfires are lit on the eve of the festival, also known as Holika Dahan
(burning of Holika) or
Chhoti Holi (little Holi). The bonfires are lit in memory of the
miraculous escape that young
Prahlad accomplished when Demoness Holika, sister of
Hiranyakashipu,
carried him into the fire. Holika was burnt but Prahlad, a staunch
devotee of god Vishnu,
escaped without any injuries due to his unshakable devotion. Holika
Dahan is referred to as Kama Dahanam in
South India.
Holi is celebrated at the end of the winter season on the last full
moon day of the lunar month
Phalguna
(February/March), (Phalgun
Purnima), which usually falls in the later part of February or
March. In 2009, Holi (Dhulandi) was on March 11 and Holika Dahan
was on March 10. In 2010, Holi was on March 1 and Holika Dahan was on
February 28.
In 2011, Holi was on March 20 and Holika Dahan was on March 19.
Rangapanchami occurs a few days later on a Panchami (fifth day
of the full moon), marking the end of festivities involving colours.
