HOLI

 

Festivals in India are an integral part of people's life. Festivals of India portray the rich cultural heritage of the country.

 

Holi is one of the most celebrated festivals in the country and is probably the only festival that brings different communities together in one place. During this time, people play with an assortment of colors, visit each other’s houses, prepare an array of delicious food and bridge all social gaps by becoming one with the spirit of the festival.  Food forms an essential part of Holi and is considered a major fuel for all the excitement and the energy on the day of the festival. In the midst of all these exciting activities, the women of the house prepare mouth-watering delicacies such as ‘Gujjias’, ‘Malpua’, ‘Dahi Vadas’ and ‘Gol Gappas’, which are usually downed with full glasses of ‘Thandai’ or ‘Bhaang’.
