Holi Festival

SMILE, NGO, India, Kolkata, children, volunteer programs

Holi is a famous festival from India, also known as the “Festival of Colors.” It is a joyful celebration of love, happiness, and the arrival of spring.

What happens during Holi?

People throw colorful powders at each other, dance, sing, and enjoy sweets. The festival is all about spreading joy and forgetting differences. It’s a time when friends, families, and even strangers come together to celebrate.

Why do people celebrate Holi?

Holi has both religious and seasonal meanings:

  • Victory of Good Over Evil

The festival comes from an old Hindu story where a boy named Prahlad was saved by a god, and an evil woman named Holika was defeated.

  • Welcome to Spring

Holi marks the end of winter and the start of warm, happy days.

Where Is Holi celebrated?

Holi is mainly celebrated in India and Nepal, but many other countries with Indian communities also enjoy it.

Can anyone join Holi?

Yes! Holi is for everyone.

Whether you are from India or not, people of all backgrounds join in to enjoy the fun, colors, and good vibes. Just wear old clothes—you will get messy! 🎨😊
