Holi is the festival of color and joy. It is the day when the bright colors
of Holi diminish all the discriminations of caste and creed in society. The
colors of Holi also bring along with themselves the spirit of joy, naughtiness,
passion and enthusiasm. The festival in itself is the celebrations of the divine

universal’. There is an eternal meaning of Holi beyond the ‘color play’ and
‘grand feasts’. If you want to explore all these meanings, read on…
