Mar 22, 2016- Phagu Purnima or Holi, the festival of colours, is being celebrated with jest and vigour by people in the Capital and other parts of the hilly region on Tuesday.The festival is generally celebrated by smearing “Abeer” or red vermilion powder and throwing colour and water-filled plastic pouches at each other.Holi revellers have converged since early morning to begin the celebration by applying colours on each other and making merry amongst themselves.Holi, an important festival for Nepali people, begins on the eighth day of the new moon and ends with the burning of the “Chir’, which was installed earlier, on the full moon day.The festival is celebrated today in the hilly areas including the Capital. It will be celebrated in the Terai region tomorrow.
