होली (Holi) वसंत ऋतु में मनाया जाने वाला एक महत्वपूर्ण भारतीय और नेपाली लोगों का त्यौहार है। यह पर्व हिंदू पंचांग के अनुसार फाल्गुन मास की पूर्णिमा को मनाया जाता है। होली रंगों का तथा हँसी-खुशी का त्योहार है। यह भारत का एक प्रमुख और प्रसिद्ध त्योहार है, जो आज विश्वभर में मनाया जाने लगा है। रंगों का त्यौहार कहा जाने वाला यह पर्व पारंपरिक रूप से दो दिन मनाया जाता है। यह प्रमुखता से भारत तथा नेपाल में मनाया जाता है। यह त्यौहार कई अन्य देशों जिनमें अल्पसंख्यक हिन्दू लोग रहते हैं वहाँ भी धूम-धाम के साथ मनाया जाता है। पहले दिन को होलिका जलायी जाती है, जिसे होलिका दहन भी कहते हैं। दूसरे दिन, जिसे प्रमुखतः धुलेंडी व धुरड्डी, धुरखेल या धूलिवंदन इसके अन्य नाम हैं, लोग एक दूसरे पर रंग, अबीर-गुलाल इत्यादि फेंकते हैं, ढोल बजा कर होली के गीत गाये जाते हैं और घर-घर जा कर लोगों को रंग लगाया जाता है। ऐसा माना जाता है कि होली के दिन लोग पुरानी कटुता को भूल कर गले मिलते हैं और फिर से दोस्त बन जाते हैं। एक दूसरे को रंगने और गाने-बजाने का दौर दोपहर तक चलता है। इसके बाद स्नान कर के विश्राम करने के बाद नए कपड़े पहन कर शाम को लोग एक दूसरे के घर मिलने जाते हैं, गले मिलते हैं और मिठाइयाँ खिलाते हैं।

The Bhagavata Purana is a revered text in Vaishnavism, a Hindu tradition that reveres Vishnu. The text presents a form of religion (dharma) that competes with that of the Vedas, wherein bhakti ultimately leads to self-knowledge, salvation (moksha), and bliss. However, the Bhagavata Purana asserts that the inner nature and outer form of Krishna are identical to the Vedas and that this is what rescues the world from the forces of evil. An oft-quoted verse (1.3.40) is used by some Krishna sects to assert that the text itself is Krishna in literary form.
