How Every Birth Month Is Rising Into The Light This Holi (3/4)

Holi, celebrated this year on March 4 with Holika Dahan on the evening of March 3, is known as the Festival of Colors.

Rooted in Hindu tradition, it commemorates the triumph of good over evil, light over darkness, and faith over fear, inspired by the story of Prahlad and the defeat of Holika. Beyond its vibrant powders and joyful gatherings, Holi marks the arrival of spring and the renewal that comes after hardship. It is a reminder that no matter how long a season of darkness lasts, light always returns, and when it does, it arrives boldly, beautifully, and without apology.

Here is how every birth month is rising into that light this Holi:
