Holi, the festival of colours, will be celebrated by people across the country as well as the Indian diaspora across the world on 6 March with much fervour and enthusiasm.
The celebration – marked by the overwhelming use of colours — is said to commemorate the victory of good over evil and centres around the story of how Prahlad, the devoted worshipper of Lord Vishnu, was saved when demon king Hiranyakashyap's sister 'Holika' took him into blazing fire to burn him.
While Prahlad was saved by the Lord, Holika was burned and hence the name 'Holi' was derived.
In order to celebrate the festival, we have rounded up over 20 interesting quotes, messages and wishes in English and Hindi that could be sent across to friends or loved ones as greetings, SMS or whatsapp messages.
More of such wishes and greetings in English as well as Hindi can be found in various websites and blogs such as Happy Holi 2015, IloveIndia, FamousQuotes123, KiwiChoice, Holi Festival and Latest SMS.
