During Holi, various customs and traditions are practiced and these may vary depending on the region. However, some key rituals are common across many communities. One such ritual is the Holika Puja, which usually takes place in the evening or late at night before the main day. This puja involves the worship of Holika and people gather to light bonfires. The following day, people get together and play with wet and dry gulals (powder colours). Most importantly, the festival of colors is also a time for social gatherings, as friends and relatives come together to enjoy each other’s company and strengthen bonds.
