India, a land of rich cultural heritage, diverse ethnicity, and vibrancy of life, is a country known for its festivals and the way people celebrate with great zeal and enthusiasm. All around the year, people from different regions across the country celebrate festivals around the year, and among the most prominent celebrations is the festival of Holi, an extravaganza of colors and happiness. 

Dive Into the History of the Festival 

Holi 2024 is here, and we couldn't be more excited to discuss the origin of this festival. The legend of Bhakt Prahlad tells us that Holi is widely celebrated across the country to commemorate the victory of good over evil, and in most parts of the country, it is celebrated to welcome the spring season in the most exhilarating way. 

Holi - The Celebration of Togetherness

Holi is a two-day festivity starting with the Holika Dahan Pooja, wherein people worship around the huge bone fires symbolically representing Holika, exchange sweets and gifts, pray, and seek blessings from elders. On the second day of Holi, the streets are filled with joy as people enjoy splashes of gulaal, water balloons, and pichkari, meet families and friends, relish delicacies, and exchange gifts. 

People from all walks of life celebrate holi. The young and old gather together to play with colours, coloured water, flowers, sing and dance to the tunes of cultural songs, and whatnot!

Do This and Add to the Spirits of the Holi Festival This Year!

When we say we have the most interesting idea for you to plan a Holi Party at home, we really mean it. To make it more festive for you, spilling the beans for you -

• A few days before the festival, shop for colours, and pichkaris as this is the best time to explore the options and get the best ones. These days, organic colours are ruling the market, so consider this option for a safer, and better celebration. When it comes to gulaal, fill your carts with bright reds and pinks, blues and greens, the most unique pichkaris, colourful water balloons, etc.
  
  
• Begin by preparing special Holi delicacies, including Gujiya, Farsan, Thandai, and sweets, 2-3 days before the festival starts. Nothing feels better than relishing some home cooked delicacies. On the day of Holi, plan to prepare delicacies that can be instantly prepared, like Papdi Chaat, Dahi Puri, Bhelpuri, etc. for these are easy to prepare, easy to serve, and super appetising.
  
  

• Decorate your spaces with the best of ethnic decor that resonates well with the spirits of the Holi Festival. Festivals are a great time to add to the beauty of your temples, and you can do this with Hanuman Idol or add a Ladoo Gopal ka jhula to give your Kanha Ji special something this festive season. Place a Tirupati Balaji Murti in your living room for positive vibes and Saraswati Murti near the study desk of kids.. Add to the divinity of your working spaces with Laxmi Murti in the cabinet.
