Each one of us eagerly waits for Holi because of its fervour and vibrancy it brings along. Festival of Holi is celebrated on the full moon day in the month of Phalguna (Feb-Mar). This festival marks the victory of good over evil. To celebrate this festival we all shop for gulals and sweets.
Holi celebrations start on the night before Holi with Holika Dahan, where people perform rituals in front of a bonfire, praying for their inner evil to be destroyed, just as Holika was killed in fire.
The carnival of colours begins the next morning, where people come out on the streets to play with colours, and drench each other in coloured water through water guns or balloons.
