Holi, the fesitval of colours, occurs on Falgun sud Poonam. Fuldolotsav, the festival of flowers is celebrated on the day after Holi.

Both these events are part of the festival of spring. All over India, these two days are celebrated by spraying coloured water and sprinkling powdered paint over one another. The colour represents the beautiful spring blossoms that would be emerging on the trees at this time of year.

In the Swaminarayan religion, devotional raas is played around the divine murti of the Lord seated upon a hindoro.

The murti of Lord Swaminarayan is bathed in panchamrut and then with coloured water and auspicious gulal powder. His Divine Holiness Acharya Swamishree then sprays this prasadi coloured water and powder over the Sants and disciples.
