The Festival of Colours: Symbolism and Celebration
Holi celebration is deeply rooted in Hindu mythology, symbolising the triumph of good over evil. The festival of Holi begins with the ritual of lighting a bonfire, known as Holika Dahan. The following day marks the more widely celebrated aspect of Holi, when people immerse themselves in joy and togetherness by playing with colours.
This year, the celebration of the 'Festival of Colours' is being observed on two separate days. (ANI)
