Happy Holi 2016: India's colorful day

Holi, known as the festival of colours is also the harvest festival which heralds the advent of spring. It is celebrated to commemorate the Hindu mythological tale of Prahlada emerging unscathed from the flames despite being drawn into the fire by demoness Holika. On the special occasion of Holi, the only thing one can hear loud and clear is people greeting each other with the phrase – Happy Holi.
