How is Holi Celebrated? Holi is celebrated as a two day festival in India.
The first day is celebrated as Holika Dahan. After sunset, people gather around a bonfire, perform prayers (puja) and then light it. People sing and dance around the bonfire as it symbolizes the triumph of good over evil.
The second day of Holi is called Dhulandi. This is the day people apply colors to one another. Kids play with dry colors called Gulal. Groups of people also sing and dance on the streets going from one place to another.
