Het Holifeest of Holi-Phagwa of gewoon ‘Phagwa, Phagawa’, is een Hindoestaans feest dat jaarlijks gevierd wordt en in feite een combinatie is van een lentefeest, verlossingsfeest en een nieuwjaarsfeest. Volgens het Gregoriaanse kalender wordt het in het voorjaar gevierd, op de eerste dag van nieuwe maan maand chaitra. Het holifeest kenmerkt zich door culturele dans, - zang, versnaperingen en het strooien met (vaak rood en geel) gekleurd poeder en parfum (Goellaal en Abier).
Holi (Hindi: होली), or Phagwa (Bhojpuri), also called the Festival of Colours, is a popular Hindu spring festival observed in India and Nepal. In West Bengal, it is known as Dolyatra (Doljatra) or Boshonto Utsav ("spring festival").
On the second day, known as Dhulhendi, people spend the day throwing colored powder and water at each other. The spring season, during which the weather changes, is believed to cause viral fever and cold. Thus, the playful throwing of the colored powders has a medicinal significance: the colors are traditionally made of Neem, Kumkum, Haldi, Bilva, and other medicinal herbs prescribed by Āyurvedic doctors.
