Holi songs 2022: Groovy Bollywood hits to add to your festival dance playlist!

New Delhi: Holi, the festival of 'pichkaris' and colours, is around the corner and people can hardly wait to celebrate the vibrant festival. This year Holi will be celebrated on March 18 which is a Friday. Even though it is a predominantly Hindu festival, it is celebrated by people of other faiths as well. It marks the arrival of the spring harvest season in the country.

The evening before the big day of Holi is known as Holika Dahan or Chhoti Holi during which people light a bonfire to signify the burning of the demon Holika. The next day is Rangwali Holi when people lovingly smear each other with bright colours and water balloons.
