In 2015, the festival will be celebrated on March 6 (in 2016, on March 23). However the specific date of Holi Festival can vary from year to year, as it's observed on the full moon day of Phagun (12th) month in Hindu calendar, which usually falls at the end of February or early March. In some places, Holi is celebrated prior to the official Holi Day. Known as the Festival of Colors, Holi is celebrated to mark the beginning of spring. - See more at: http://www.indiaodysseytours.com/knows/holi-festival-in-india.html#sthash.mmAawand.dpuf
