Holi Festival 2013
Holi festival commemorates the victory of good over evil, brought about by the burning and destruction of the demoness named Holika. This was enabled through unwavering devotion to the Hindu god of preservation,Lord Vishnu.
Holi got its name as the “Festival of Colors” from Lord Krishna, a re-incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who liked to play pranks on the village girls by drenching them in water and colors.
The festival marks the end of winter and the abundance of the upcoming spring harvest season.
When is Holi Celebrated:
The day after the full moon in March each year. In 2013, Holi will be celebrated on Wednesday, March 27 at the Appletree Centre Crawley West Sussex
