Today is Holi, the Hindu festival that marks the start of spring
Brands such as Sony and Canon have used the vibrant festival to showcase their products. British Airways recently joined in the fun with cabin crew members celebrating in cities across India., got involved in Holi traditions in the music video for"Hymn for the Weekend."there to celebrate it, you'll want the answer to these questions: What is Holi? And why do Indians celebrate it?
It was even described in detail in a 7th century Sanskrit play called"Ratnavali," written by the Indian emperor Harsha. The festival takes place a day earlier in the eastern states of West Bengal and Odisha. In some parts of northern Uttar Pradesh state, the festivities take place over a week. It was a seemingly foolproof plan; Holika would take Prahlad onto her lap and straight into a bonfire. Holika would survive because she had an enchanted shawl that would protect her from the flames.
