Holi is a vibrant and joyful festival celebrated with great excitement in New Delhi. It marks the arrival of the spring season and the triumph of good over evil. The celebration begins with Holika Dahan the night before Holi, where a bonfire is lit to symbolize the burning of negativity. On the day of Holi, people play with dry colors, water balloons, and colorful water. Friends, neighbors, and family members greet each other by applying colors and saying “Happy Holi”. Traditional sweets like gujiya and thandai are enjoyed during the festival. Many housing societies and parks in Delhi organize Holi parties with music, food, and dance. The streets of the city come alive with laughter, drums, and joyful celebrations. Children especially enjoy the festival with water guns and color sprays. Holi also promotes unity as people forget differences and celebrate together. Though fun, many people now prefer using organic and safe colors. The festival usually takes place in March every year and brings a cheerful atmosphere to the entire city.
