About the Hindu celebration of Holi
Culture & Art , Festivals & Fairs
India
Ends: Mar 25, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
One of the major festivals of the Hindu faith, Holi, is celebrated with enthusiasm at the full moon in the Hindu month of Phalgun. It marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring.
There is no more colorful holiday than Holi. Like Carnaval in Brazil, Holi is something you must experience in person at least once. Everywhere you go in India, Holi is visible. On the sides of the road, you’ll see piles of gulal/abir (multi-colored powder) during the days leading up to the festival. Pichkaris, which look like a water guns, are essential to Holi.
Children play with pichkaris filled with gulal, fine sand, and water, running around and dousing each other, thus covering everyone and everything in color. Essentially, the dull grey colors of winter are erased. The holiday is also a celebration of family, faith, and hope.
Gujia, a sweet dumpling, is central to the Holi celebration. Women prepare Gujia at home and share them with their friends, family, and neighbors.
On the eve of Holi, Holika Dahan, effigies of the devil are roasted on a pyre.
PLEASE NOTE:
We use the Indian civil calendar, the official holiday calendar in India. The Hindu faith has many calendars, each specific to different regions and tribes, with dates and celebrations marked by differing positions of the sun, moon, and stars. Names of months and holidays and the corresponding dates in the Gregorian Calendar may vary widely from one calendar to the next. Determine the proper calendar before attending local events.
