It’s that time of the year when the streets are filled with colour-smeared people who greet each other with a dash of pink, yellow and green. Yes! It’s the festival of colours – Holi is here. With the country already in the mood to celebrate Holi, people have begun gorging staples such as gujiyas and delicious malpuas, not to forget thandai especially ones laced with bhang. This year, Holi falls on March 2.
Though Holi popularly is known for the fun celebrations, colours and mouth-watering delicacies, it is also tied to the arrival of spring, the end of winter and is also celebrated as a thanksgiving for good harvest in some regions. Though it is pure chance that Holika Dahan falls a day before Holi, which is why many also call the day Choti Holi, celebrations begin on the night of the first day with a Holika bonfire. According to the Hindu religion, the Holika Dahan symbolises the victory of good over evil.
While friends and family chase each other to give a good splash of colours right on the face, some people live away from their homes. However, technology can bridge the gap! Here are some greetings that you can send to your loved ones ahead of the festival to just get the festivities rolling.
