Holi (Hindi, f., होली, holī) ist ein aus der hinduistischen Überlieferung stammendes indisches Frühlingsfest am ersten Vollmondtag des Monats Phalgun (Februar/März). Dieses „Fest der Farben“ dauert mindestens zwei, in einigen Gegenden Indiens auch bis zu zehn Tage. Mit Holi wird das Fest hauptsächlich in Nordindien und Nepal bezeichnet, in anderen Landesteilen ist es unter anderen Namen bekannt. In Maharashtra heißt es beispielsweise Shimga, in Goa Shigmo, in Madhya Pradesh Phaga, in Westbengalen und Oriya Dol Yatra. Im Süden kennt man das Fest als Kamadahana.
