KAUAI, HAWAII, August 9, 2024 (Hinduism Today): Holi is wild and raucous, a frolic of friendly playfulness. During Holi, India’s streets are overtaken by crowds awash with colored powder. Not only clothes, but faces, arms and hair are smeared and sprayed with every color of the rainbow. People sing, dance, play, hug each other and smile with such child-like joy that it makes one wonder where so much happiness comes from! No religious festival in the world compares to Holi in terms of engaging young and old alike. It is a celebration of love, forgiveness, hope and just plain fun.

This four-minute festival short film is one of five on Hindu festivals developed by the editors of Hinduism Today magazine. It is intended to provide an authentic presentation of this key aspect of Hindu culture for use in American middle and high school social studies.
