Holi, or the “Festival of Colors,” is one of India’s most important national holidays. Celebrants welcome the beginning of spring through bonfires and smearing different colors on the body. Each color is symbolic of a specific meaning — red represents love and fertility, yellow represents auspiciousness, green represents new beginnings, and blue represents the Hindu God Krishna. The celebration involves festive sweets and savories which this event promises, alongside bright colors, performances and Indian tunes.
