What do you know about Hinduism & Holi?

The Festival of Colours

It’s a sight you might have seen in your city or on TV: crowds of people throwing brightly coloured powders and water balloons at one another while dancing and singing. This cheerful spectacle called Holi is originally a Hindu celebration, but it is also celebrated in other Asian religions and cultures. As Hindu communities spread to all corners of the world, so did their colourful spring festival.
