FAQs

When and why is Holi celebrated?

Known as the Festival of Colors, Holi is celebrated to mark the beginning of spring. The specific date of the Holi Festival can vary from year to year, as it’s observed on the full moon day of Phagun (12th) month in the Hindu calendar, which usually falls at the end of February or early March in the Gregorian calendar.

Who started Holi?

Holi’s traditions vary throughout the country and have their roots in Indian mythology. In many places the festival is associated with the legend of Hiranyakashipu, a demon king in ancient India. Hiranyakashipu enlisted the help of his sister, Holika, to kill his son, Prahlada, a devoted worshipper of Vishnu.

Why was Holika killed?

According to legend, Holika was the sister of Hiranyakashipu, who acquired a boon that rendered her invulnerable to fire. She then attempted to kill her nephew, Prahlada, by placing him on her lap in a bonfire. However, she was immolated while Prahlada was saved from the fire.
