About Holi
Holi, also called Rangwali Holi or Dhulandi, is played on the first lunar day of the waning moon (Krishna Pratipada) of Chaitra, the morning after the Holika Dahan bonfire. People smear each other with coloured powder (gulal), splash coloured water, share sweets and visit friends and family. It is closely associated with Krishna and Radha, whose playful Holi in Braj inspired the colours.
