Happy Holi 2023 to everyone. Holi is an ancient Hindu tradition and one of the most popular festivals in Hinduism. It celebrates the arrival of spring, the end of winter, and the blossoming of love. The festival also signifies the triumph of good over evil, commemorating the victory of god Vishnu as Narasimha Narayana over a demoness named Holika. Holi is celebrated every year on the day after the full moon in the Hindu month of Phalguna which is early March.
During Holi, people take to the streets and spray each other with colored powders and water. People celebrate Holi festival while dancing and making music. The colors used during Holi have different meanings. For example, red represents love and fertility while green symbolizes new beginnings. On the eve of Holi, large pyres are lit in many parts of India to signify the burning of evil spirits.

Generally, it is more vividly celebrated in North India, particularly in Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur than in Southern India which focuses on religious rituals. Despite having roots in Hinduism, Holi has been celebrated across all religious communities in India and now also all over the world.
