New Delhi: The nation is celebrating Holi 2026 today with vibrant colours, music, and traditional festivities across cities and villages. The festival, which symbolises the victory of good over evil, also marks the beginning of the spring season and brings communities together in a spirit of unity and joy.
From early morning, streets across India witnessed enthusiastic celebrations as people applied gulal to one another, exchanged heartfelt greetings, and shared festive sweets such as gujiya and malpua. Children were seen enjoying water balloons and pichkaris, while groups of revellers danced to popular Holi songs, adding energy to the celebrations.
Holi continues to deliver a powerful social message of equality and fraternity, with people from all backgrounds — irrespective of caste, creed, age, or gender — participating together in the festivities.
Authorities in several cities have also made special arrangements to ensure peaceful and safe celebrations. Markets recorded brisk sales of colours, sweets, and festive items ahead of the festival.
As India celebrates, Holi once again reinforces its timeless message — unity in diversity, renewal, and the joy of togetherness.
