Holi Celebrations in Bangladesh - a photo on Flickriver

            Holi (Dolyatra, Doul Jatra, Basanta-Utsav) is the Hindu festival colors that celebrates the triumph of good over evil, good harvest, and fertility. It usually falls in the later part of February or March.

The festival signifies the victory of good over evil, the arrival of spring, end of winter, and for many a festive day to meet others, play and laugh, forget and forgive, and repair broken relationships, and is also celebrated as a thanksgiving for a good harvest.

The festival, also known as Dol Purnima (full moon day), begins in the morning and will continue till afternoon. It also usually lasts for two days starting on the Purnima in several parts of the country.

As a ritual in celebration of the festival, the devotees are visiting the shrines, temples and offering colors (abir) at the feet of Idol of the God Sri Krishna and Goddess Sri Radhika.

Abir Khela, a significant part of the festival, means throwing of abir, a kind of perfumed and pink colored powder and different other colorful powders by revelers on each other making festival-goers coated in color to make the extravaganza enthusiastic.
