The festival of colours is finally here and it is the time to celebrate the beauty of colours. Correlating with March every year, Holi is one of the most sacred and biggest festivals of Hindus. This festival is dedicated to the fusion of colours that seamlessly integrates art, beauty, and vibrancy into our lives. Among all the festivals, the festival of colours holds a special place in everyone’s heart.
The scene of India’s playful Holi in every city is captivating. The splash of colours on those white t-shirts, the streets painted with colours, and the colourful clouds up in the sky cast a colourful twist to the festivities of this vibrant festival. A colourful cultural tradition, Holi is an emotion that teaches us playfulness.
At its heart, Holi celebrates spring, the festival of love and colours. The festival has vivid shades, unifying communities in its auspicious celebrations. Also known by other names such as ‘Dol Jatra’, ‘Dulhandi’, 'Dol Purnima', and 'Rang Panchami', Holi is celebrated all over India according to different traditions and rituals. The moments of fun, gaiety, and celebrations cannot be experienced to the fullest in any festival more than the festival of colours-‘Holi’. The festival also symbolizes the victory of good over evil. The story of Prahalad’s faith and devotion to Lord Vishnu which saved him from being burnt by fire gives the valuable life lesson to trust the universe and to have faith in prayers. Holi also carries the beautiful message of love and bonding. In a mischievous way, Once Krishna playfully applied colours on the face of Radha Rani as she was fair-skinned. Since then, Holi is also celebrated as a festival of love all over India.

The festival is enjoyed popularly by distributing gujiya, bhang, thandai, and mathri. People greet each other with ‘gulaal’and a popular phrase ‘Bura na maano Holi hai’. The pichkari is the most lovable part of Holi celebrations that drenches everyone in the spectrum of colours. On the occasion of Holi, looking at the platter of colours stirs up the excitement to colour the sweet faces of our loved ones. Well, Holi is not just a festival, it is a celebration of universal themes—love, relationships, togetherness, beauty, and creativity.
Beyond the celebrations of Holi, lies a conscious initiative to protect the environment. An Earth-friendly celebration of Holi promotes using natural colours to safeguard the ecosystem. A mindset shift towards
organic Holi
and water-free Holi is much needed for the conservation of natural resources and the execution of sustainable practices. The use of synthetic colours, plastic balloons, and water destroys the ecosystem. And so, this Holi, let us promise ourselves an eco-friendly Holi celebration.
The festival has finally made its presence and the celebrations of Holi are a testament to India’s rich cultural landscape. From the excitement of its preparations to playing Holi, the new beginnings are all set to knock on the doors of our lives. Here we list down some creative and colourful wishes for Holi, to help you share the joy of the festival of colours with your loved ones.
