Holi is the spring festival of colours. On the full-moon evening of Phālguna a bonfire, Holikā Dahana, is lit. The next morning people throw coloured powder and water at one another.
The bonfire recalls the story of Prahlāda, who came out of the fire unharmed while Holikā burned.
The bonfire is lit on the day the full-moon tithi holds in the late afternoon, and the colours are played the day after.
