Holi 2019: History, significance and importance of this festival

Holi signifies the arrival of the spring season and is an occasion when we meet our family and friends and spend the day with them with colours and traditional delicacies.
On Choti Holi, also known as Holika Dahan, a bonfire is lit to signify the time when Holika was burnt. The next day, on Badi Holi, families and friends meet while the streets are full of people throwing colours on each other. Gujiya is the most popular sweet that is made during this season
