It's the Hindu festival of Holi, and here's what you need to know about it.Observed by millions around the world, the religious event [pronounced like"holy"] celebrates new life and the victory of good over evil. It usually takes place over two days, and it's on 8 March in 2023.People gather in crowds to pelt each other with perfumed, coloured powder called gulal.
The king asked Prahlada's aunt Holika to kill the boy on a bonfire, but with Vishnu's help the flames killed her instead. It's thought the festival's name - Holi - is taken from hers.Holi is also seen as a time to celebrate the beauty of colour that god has put into the world. And it's a day where children are free to break rules and get messy without worrying about being told off.
