What is Holi in India?

Holi is a festival of colors. It is  a  harvest  celebration marking  the  climax of  spring. Bonfires  are lit, marking both  the  end of  winter  and  the  death of  evil,   and  proceeds  from  the seasonal harvest- grains,  coconuts  etc..  offered  to  the  flames. 

The  next  day,  Dhulia  involves plenty of  color  throwing, prayers,  fasting  and  feasting. People have  fun  throwing cultured powder  and  colorful  water  at  each other,  dancing  and  gambling over  cards. T


The Rajasthani and north Indian  population  at  Kankaria  and Jamalpur   in Ahmedabad  celebrate  Holi in great  style  with  folk  dancing  and  color  throwing. 

  

Holi is  an important  festival  for  the  tribals of Gujarat. Visit  Poshina,  where  tribals  of  the Garasia  and Bhil Adivasis  gather  at  the  darbargadh,  the  tribal  fairs of Chotta Udaipur  and  the Rajpipla  hills,  and  in  the period  after Holi  the Dangs Darbar  at Saputara  and  the tribal  fairs  of  north Gujarat.
