Holi isn’t just a festival—it’s a story passed down through time, where light rises stronger than darkness. Rooted in the tale of Prahlad and Holika, it reminds us how faith, truth, and goodness always find their way through—even in the face of power and illusion.
This illustration brings that spirit to life. From left to right, it unfolds the essence and joy of Holi, moments of warmth, celebration, and togetherness, painted in colours that echo both the story and the spirit of the festival.

"What do we mean by the term illustration? There is no easy answer. From the Romans to the Enlightenment, the Latin analogy “ut pictura poesis” (as is painting so is poetry) was used by philosophers to suggest a parallel between literature and the fine arts, between visual and verbal modes of communication.”
