It’s that time of the year when the streets are filled with colour-smeared people who greet each other with a dash of pink, yellow and green. Yes! It’s the festival of colours – Holi is here. With the country already in the mood to celebrate Holi, people have begun gorging staples such as gujiyas and delicious malpuas, not to forget thandai especially ones laced with bhang.

This year, Holi falls on March 2.

Though Holi popularly is known for the fun celebrations, colours and mouth-watering delicacies, it is also tied to the arrival of spring, the end of winter and is also celebrated as a thanksgiving for good harvest in some regions. Though it is pure chance that Holika Dahan falls a day before Holi, which is why many also call the day Choti Holi, celebrations begin on the night of the first day with a Holika bonfire. According to the Hindu religion, the Holika Dahan symbolises the victory of good over evil.

The story of Holi is not complete without a mention of bhang. In modern times, bhang consumption has bucketed only as a tool for merriment during Holi and sometimes during Shivratri. Bollywood has also done its bit to propagate this myth through popular songs. The original usage of bhang was, however, for serious seekers, yogis and aghoris who wanted to achieve transcendental states.

Holi was celebrated with much fervour across India on Friday.

The festival of colours is celebrated in different ways over a number of days – lathmar Holi was celebrated in the neighbouring towns of Barsana and Nandgaon near Mathura in Uttar Pradesh on Sunday, the widows of Vrindavan played with colours on Wednesday and Dol Jaatra was celebrated in West Bengal on Thursday.


Holi is observed on two days. Traditionally, the first day is known as Holika Dahan, which signifies the victory of good over evil, and the second day – also known as Badi Holi – welcomes the onset of spring.
