All About It
Holi, the festival of colours, marks the last full moon in the month of Phalguna in the lunar calendar. With Gulal in your hair and the aroma of homemade dishes, the exuberance of Holi is hard to miss. Holi is a time when people from all backgrounds come together to chase each other with water guns, splash colour on each other, and dance on the streets. It is a festival of joy and merriment, where people are free to express themselves and have fun, without the worry of judgment or prejudice. Even though the festival originated in India, it has been adopted around the world as a religious festival. Holi is celebrated all over Himachal Pradesh, but not the way it is in Sangla. Sangla is a small village in the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. Being a magical land that has everything our heart could ever want, from the snow capped mountains to the picturesque views, and much more! It is a land of myriad cultures and traditions as well.
