On Holika Dahan, people across the nation light bonfire at temples and compounds that symbolizes the victory of good over evil. Holi Festival is the last festival as per the Hindu Calender that is celebrated in the month of Phalgun.

People of all the communities across the country celebrate the festival. They prepare different kinds of delicacies like Puran Poli, Gujia. Dahi Bhalle, Malpua, Papri, Bhang, Thandai, Kanji ke vade.

However, we suggest that you should use herbal colors as the colors available in the market are generally adulterated and cause skin allergies.
