India’s most vivid, joyous festival; Holi celebrates the victory of good over evil, the arrival of spring and a time to play with colours. It’s an occasion that brings in unadulterated joy and mirth, fun and play, music and dance and of course, lots of bright colours. For many it is a festive day to meet others, play and laugh, forget and forgive, and repair broken relationships.
People celebrate Holi by splashing water and smearing each other with colours, which is also known as ‘Gulal’. They spray people with coloured powders while dancing and singing. Wearing white for Holi has become something of an unwritten rule; people usually wear white on Holi just so that have all the different shades of Holi colours stand out on their clothes. While enjoying the festivities you are bound to hear people saying Holi hai (It is Holi)!
There are always some things to keep in mind while celebrating the festival:
- Make sure that your face is well creamed/oiled before and after the play.
- Apply a thick coating of nail paint on your nails so that they remain protected and don’t get coloured!
- Oil your hair well, so that colour doesn’t stick on your hair and can be washed off easily later.
- Most import of all – have fun and enjoy the spirit of Holi.
