As part of our unit of inquiry into Celebrations on
Monday 17th March we will be investigating the festival of Holi. It is a major
festival in the Hindu religion. It is celebrated on the day after the last full
moon of the Hindu month of Phalguna. Phalguna falls between late February and early
March in Western calendars. Holi usually marks the happy transition from harsh,
dark winter to brighter, warmer springtime.
