Holi
Also known as: Rangwali Holi, Dhuleti, Phagwah
Dates follow the Indian calendar (IST). If you’re outside India, your local temple may observe a day earlier or later for tithi-based festivals.
Holi is the festival of colours that welcomes spring and celebrates the playful love of Krishna and Radha. Friends, family, and even strangers smear each other with coloured powder, splash water, share sweets, and let old quarrels dissolve in laughter.
