It also signifies the triumph of good over evil.

Holi celebrates the arrival of spring, the end of winter, the blossoming of love and for many it is a festive day to meet others, play and laugh, forget and forgive, and repair broken relationships. The festival also celebrates the beginning of a good spring harvest season. It lasts for a night and a day, starting on the evening of the Purnima (Full Moon day) falling in the Hindu calendar month of Phalguna, which falls around middle of March in the Gregorian calendar. It is celebrated each year close to the spring equinox.
Throughout India, Holi is celebrated differently depending on the region. In West Bengal, singing and dancing is a key part of the celebrations — and they also celebrate Holi a day early in West Bengal. ]]> 2021-03-26 23:14:44 UTC https://padlet.com/gulsahgkc109/o1ogcl3wx5knjika/wish/1359117636 gulsahgkc109 https://padlet.com/gulsahgkc109/o1ogcl3wx5knjika/wish/1359120837
Holi is called the festival of colors because the main event is a color-filled celebration. While the bonfire on the night before, Holika Dahan, has a religious element, the day of the color fest typically doesn’t involve a religious ceremony. Indian people apply colorful ocher to their faces first and then to each other's bodies. It’s purely about having fun within your community by taking to the streets or attending private celebrations to throw colors at each other. The colors are each said to symbolize something different. Blue is for Krishna, a Hindu god portrayed with blue skin. Green is symbolic of rebirth and new beginnings. Red is the color of marriage and can symbolize matrimony or fertility. And yellow, the color of turmeric, is often used on auspicious occasions. There is no concept specific to the festival, everyone is free to wear whatever they want, and all your clothes will be colorful at the end of the day :) In this festival, people have a lot of fun and feel very good.]]> 2021-03-26 23:17:35 UTC https://padlet.com/gulsahgkc109/o1ogcl3wx5knjika/wish/1359120837
