Holi Festival

Holi is a vibrant Hindu festival celebrated primarily in India and Nepal, but also by Hindu communities around the world, including here in the UK. It is often called the Festival of Colours. It typically falls in March, on the last full moon of the Hindu lunar month of Phalguna. What it celebrates: Holi marks the arrival of spring and the triumph of good over evil. It is associated with the story of Prahlad and the demoness Holika — where good prevails despite attempts to destroy it. It is also linked to the playful nature of the god Krishna.
