Holi is celebrated at the end of winter, on the last full moon day of the Hindu luni-solar calendar month marking the spring, making the date vary with the lunar cycle.
The Festival of Spring, the triumph of good over evil, a celebration of colour.
I have long admired the festival. This year Rob and I celebrated at Alex' and Penny's with Amita. Penny made a cocktail in honour of the holi-day, festive with the purple color of Empress Gin and a beautiful circle of lemon... star anise and clove, and tonic.
I hope our celebration of Holi grows in the coming years to include the Holika bonfire and the Rangwali Holi free-for-all of colour and feasting the next day.
A celebration of new beginnings.
