One of the most awaited festivals of colors, love, and joy is here—Holi! Celebrated by people across the world, Holi marks the arrival of spring and the triumph of good over evil while also symbolizing love and unity. On this day, people play with colors, water guns, and balloons and indulge in festive treats like Gujiyas.
Holi signifies the end of winter and the arrival of spring. It is a celebration of renewal, symbolizing new beginnings, life, and hope.
The festival is also deeply associated with the divine love between Lord Krishna and Radha. According to Hindu mythology, Lord Krishna, concerned about his dark complexion, wondered whether fair-skinned Radha would accept him. His mother, Yashoda, playfully suggested that he apply colors to Radha's face with gulal, erasing any differences between them.
