People across India will celebrate Holi on March 18 this year. Holi is popularly known as the ‘Festival of Colours’ and ‘Festival of Spring’. The festival celebrates the eternal and divine love of Radha Krishna. It also signifies the triumph of good over evil, as it celebrates the victory of Lord Vishnu as Narasimha Narayana over Hiranyakashipu.
Holi celebrations start on the night before Holi with a Holika Dahan where people gather, perform religious rituals in front of the bonfire, and pray that their internal evil be destroyed the way Holika, the sister of the demon king Hiranyakashipu, was killed in the fire. The next morning is celebrated as Rangwali Holi (Dhuleti) – a free-for-all festival of colours, where people smear each other with colours and drench each other. Water guns and water-filled balloons are also used to play and colour each other.
Wish your loved ones on this day with these special messages:
May the enticing colours of Holi smear your life, leaving it shimmering, radiant, and striking with no grey patches. I wish you a wonderful Holiday season with your family and friends.
Be a free spirit when it comes to color. Play dry Holi to help the country avoid a water crisis. Holi greetings!
If the wishes come in rainbow colors, I’ll send the brightest to say happy Holi.
Play more, drink less,
enjoy more, think less.
Have a cheerful Holi!
Rang ho ya gulaal, maaro pichkari or laa do fuhaar.
Nacho or jhumo, masti se khelo.
Have a colourful and joyous Holi!!
Neela, peela, hara, gulaabi yeh sab to ek bahaana hain
hame to tumse milne aana hai
Es Holi pe unhe rangne jaana hain..
Dil ne ek baar phir humara kahna mana hain.
