Reception Celebrate Holi.

The festival of colours

Holi is the Hindu festival that welcomes the Spring and celebrates the new life and energy of the season. 

Holi is a colourful festival, with dancing, singing, and throwing of powder paint and coloured water.

Bonfires are lit and roasting grains, pop corn, coconut and chick peas are thrown on by Hindu families.

People of all ages go into the streets for fun and paint-throwing. Everyone gets involved - with no distinctions between ethnicity, class, age or gender.

Hindus have fun by smearing each other with paint and throwing coloured water at each other, all done in a spirit of celebration

Happy Holi!
