The festival of colours — Holi — is round the corner and Indians and Nepalese across the world are set to celebrate it Thursday, March 24.
The spring festival is celebrated to commemorate the victory of good over evil and the two-day celebration starts on Purnima (full moon day). The first day of the festival is also known as Holika Dahan or Chhoti Holi. The ancient Hindu festival has now become very popular throughout the country and is also celebrated by the Indian diaspora and non-Hindus across the world.
As part of the Holi festival, we have compiled messages, wishes and picture greetings that can be sent across to friends or loved ones.
