In Nepal, Holi is predominantly celebrated on ‘Purnima’. However, in the southern area known as the ‘terai belt’, locals observe Holi the day after, designating it as their primary festival day. The festival is celebrated not just throughout Nepal and India but also by various Hindu communities worldwide.

Millions of people in South Asia are celebrating Holi by splashing each other with brightly colored powders, dancing to festive music and feasting on traditional sweets.
