The colorful festival of Holi is celebrated on Phalgun Purnima which comes in February end or early March. Holi festival has an ancient origin and celebrates the triumph of ‘good’ over ‘bad’. The colorful festival bridges the social gap and renew sweet relationships. On this day, people hug and wish each other ‘Happy Holi’.
The spirit of Holi, say historians, are essentially colours. Scriptures say Lord Krishna played Holi with colours made from ‘tesoo’ flowers.

People in many parts of India will be going all out in a daylong burst of revelry, playing with colours, dancing, feasting and following it up with family get-togethers, prayers and cultural soirees in the evening.

The spirit of Holi, say historians, are essentially colours. Scriptures say Lord Krishna played Holi with colours made from ‘tesoo’ flowers. He smeared villagers of Braj Bhumi - the land to which he belonged to in Uttar Pradesh - with coloured powder and sprayed fountains of red, green, yellow and blue water till the towns of Vrindavan, Mathura, Barsana, and Govardhan were bathed in colour.   http://www.geocities.com/hrdngnair/khetri3.html
