Holi 2018: Best quotes, messages, wishes and greetings to share on WhatsApp, Facebook [PHOTOS]

The much-awaited Holi festival is finally round the corner. The festival of colors, which is widely celebrated in India and Nepal, begins in the evening of March 1, 2018, and ends by next evening.

Holi is an ancient Hindu religious festival and there are many stories related to the festival. The most popular legend is about Prahlada and his father King Hiranyakashipu. It says that Lord Vishnu took the form of Narasimha when demon Hiranyakashyap's sister Holika tricked Prahlad to sit on a pyre with her. It is celebrated to recall the victory of good over evil.

Holi festival signifies the end of the winter season. The celebrations start on the night on full moon day (Purnima) with a Holika Dahan. People gather and perform religious rituals in front of the bonfire and pray that their internal evil is destroyed the way Holika was killed in the fire. The next morning is celebrated as Rangwali Holi, where people smear each other with colors and drench each other.
