Join those around the world to celebrate Holi, the incredibly popular “Festival of Colors” or “Festival of Love” and one of the most celebrated festivals in India.

Considered a most joyous holiday, Holi celebrates the arrival of spring and the passing of winter, as well as the triumph of good over evil. Despite having roots in Hinduism and being an Indian holiday that has been celebrated for more than 1600 years, it has spread, and now other parts of South Asia, the United States and countries around the world celebrate it each year. As the name “Festival of Colors” would suggest, the holiday is commemorated by long festivals where participants toss colors at each other in celebration.
