Innovative Holi Gifts for Spreading Colors of Joy and Happiness

Holi is one of the major and vibrant festivals of India. Known as the festival of colors, Holi is celebrated not only in the country but across the globe. This ancient Hindu festival is equally popular amongst the non-Hindu communities worldwide. Holi marks the end of winter and celebrates the arrival of the spring season, the season of joy and hope. It is a festival of spreading happiness and love; it’s a celebration of the victory of good over evil. Holi is also celebrated as a thanksgiving for a good harvest in many parts of the country.
