The festival of colours is around the corner, and this year the whole world will be celebrating Holi on March 8, 2023. Holi is the festival of colors, and it marks the arrival of the spring season and the end of the winter season.
As per the Hindu puranic scriptures, it is the day when Lord Vishnu’s 4th incarnation, Lord Narasimha, slew the demon king Hirinyakashyap. Therefore, the festival also signifies the victory of good over evil.
