Holi Style Guide - Chikankari Edition
Rooted in Hindu Mythology, Holi celebrates the arrival of spring and commemorates the triumph of good over evil. The festival of Holi entails an exuberant sprinkling of coloured powder on friends and family, with each colour representing a different sentiment. While Holi is known to be the festival of colours, white is one colour that reigns not just the markets but also the hearts of people celebrating it. White is widely associated with peace, humanity and brotherhood and makes for a perfect colour to don on the festival that celebrates the victory of truth and goodness.
