Holika Dahan

A significant ritual that involves lighting a bonfire, where people gather to offer prayers, sing and dance, marking the beginning of the Holi festival.

The allegorical tale of the victory of Prahlad, a devotee of Lord Vishnu, over his evil aunt Holika symbolises the triumph of good over evil. It is a time to come together with family and friends to celebrate the essence of Holi and seek blessings from the divine.

Sweeten Your Relations

One of the most joyous rituals of Holi is the distribution of sweets among friends, family, and neighbours. This ritual is known as “mithai bhandar” and is an integral part of the festival.

Distributing sweets on Holi represents spreading love and happiness and strengthening relationships. It brings people closer and creates a sense of community and togetherness.

People prepare a variety of sweets, such as gujiya, mathri, and laddoo, and share them with their loved ones.
