Festival of Colors. During Holi, people throw bright colored powder and water at each other in a fun, playful celebration. It's like nature's biggest art party!

A Love Story. Holi celebrates the beautiful love between the Hindu deities Radha and Krishna. It's a festival that honors love, friendship, and bringing people together.

Good Wins. Holi also marks when the god Vishnu (in his form as Narasimha) defeated a powerful demon named Hiranyakashipu. It's a celebration of goodness triumphing over evil.

Spring Festival. Holi happens during springtime in India, when new crops are ready to harvest and everything is blooming and fresh. It celebrates new beginnings!

Spread Around the World. While Holi started thousands of years ago in ancient India, people now celebrate it in many countries across Asia, Europe, and North America.
