Holi Revelers Celebrate Festival Of Colors At Basantapur Durbar Square In Kathmandu
In Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 2, 2026, Nepalese people and foreign tourists smear colored powder on each other as they celebrate Holi, also known as Fagu Poornima, at Basantapur Durbar Square, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The spring festival marks the arrival of the new season and the harvest period, with revelers throwing water and applying abir (red vermilion powder). Holi, one of the most widely observed cultural festivals in Nepal, begins on the eighth day of the waxing moon and concludes with the ceremonial burning of the 'Chir,' symbolizing the victory of good over evil.
