Holi 2022: When is it celebrated and what is the festivity about? (Aljazeera.com)

Hindu festival Holi, also known as festival of colours, marks the beginning of spring season in the Indian subcontinent.

It is the season of new beginnings, a new harvest, a new moon, and a new zeal for life… Holi is also celebrated in other South Asian countries like Nepal, Pakistan and Bangladesh which have a sizeable Hindu population. Garg, for instance, has never participated in a Holika Dahan bonfire on the eve of Holi. “In Himachal, we don’t do bonfires,” he said. There is a lot of dancing and singing. However, Vishnu came to Prahlad’s rescue and Holika ended up burning in the pyre. This year, the festival is being celebrated on March 18, though the festivities tend to run longer in some places.
