Holi
Holi is a festival of colours. It is celebrated in March every year. This auspicious festival is celebrated during the spring season with great joy. People wear white coloured clothes on the day of Holi. They play with bright organic colours like red, green, yellow, orange, purple, etc. Various kinds of sweets such as Gujiyas and Malpuas are prepared to mark the occasion of Holi. Children love playing with colours using pichkaris, buckets and balloons, filled with coloured water. Holi celebrations begin with the Holika Dahan ritual that is celebrated to honour the burning of Holika, the evil demoness and protection of Prahlad by Lord Vishnu from that fire. People collect wood and burn a bonfire and celebrate by singing songs around it. Holi is a festival that reminds us of the victory of good over evil.

Let's Play Holi
Went to my ancestor's home during the Spring season that year...
On a Holiday in the land of Chanchadari
A peaceful morning in Hoshiarpur, the doors to Himalaya
Happy Holli day!! The kids shout with cheer
Holi Hai! Holi Hai! Let's play Holi!!!
He woke up in the early morning that day...
With a bucket of colored water waiting for me
I stepped outside my grandpa's door
In a split second, I was soaked in colored water…
From head to toes… red, orange, yellow, purple… the colors of Holi…
Ohh It's a Hoi Hai day alright…
Let's play Holi … Let's play Holi...
Hails spring with ecstasy and joy!
The trees smile with their sprout
of tender leaves and blooming flowers,
The land of beauty and greatness,
India, witnessing color of happiness and peace.
Nation come alive to enjoy the spirit
A celebration of color- Holi!
An experience of content, harmony, and delight.
Holi colors of red, green, yellow, and countless.
A day's canvas - a riot of colors.
Lively crowd running, dancing, playing
Rainbow of colors, Let's play Holi and splish and splash!!
Let's play with the frenzy colors .. play on Holi Hai day….
I am dreaming of playing with colors with you
It is the Holi celebration after all.
I can't play inside my home, the carpets will get tainted,
I cant' play it in the yard, the grass and outer walls will get painted.
I thought I would go to the secret garden of ours,
and play with you Holi hai day …
It's a colorful day just you and me...
In love on Holi Hai day…. Let's play Holi.
Hindi -
रंगों का त्योहार है होली
खुशियों की बौछार है होली
लाल गुलाबी पीले देखो
रंग सभी रंगीले देखों
पिचकारी भर-भर ले आते
इक दूजे पर सभी चलाते
होली पर अब ऐसा हाल
हर चेहरे पर आज गुलाल
आओ यारो इसी बहाने
दुश्मन को भी चलो मनाने
