Holi 2023: Cocktail recipe will make your after parties a delight!

Celebrated in March every year, Holi is among the biggest Hindu festivals of all times. This festival of colours has a twofold significance firstly, it marks an important mythical event, and secondly, it signals the end of winter and arrival of spring.

The night before the festival of colours, huge piles of wood are set afire, symbolising the burning of Holika. Thereafter, in the morning, people of all ages put coloured powder, throw coloured water and even water balloons on each other. Revellers roam around their colony in groups, locally known as tolis, smearing whoever they see on the way with colours. Special sweets, including the iconic Gujiyas, are prepared in almost every Hindu household.
