Holi - The festival of Colours

Holi, the festival of colours, is celebrated in the North of India with great fervour and enthusiasm. It generally falls in the month of March and marks the onset of spring bidding adieu to a spell of biting winter. It also signifies the onset of a fresh lease of life as the landscape gets draped in shades of bright green.

The mythological signinficance being Lord Vishnu slaying Hiranyakashapu who tried to harm and force his son Prahalad a devout devotee of Lord Vishnu to accept him as the master of the entire world.

People celebrate this festival by splashing colours on each others, visiting their near and dear ones and exchanging sweets. The festival is about colours, a celebration of good over evil and lot of joy.
