Holi is a festival that is usually celebrated right after winters. It is celebrated in the month of March-April. The dates vary every year due to the fact that the Hindu calendar is based on solar cycles. This is a colorful festival celebrated with much joy and fervor all over northern India. The most famous Holi is played in Vrindavan-Mathura regions of the state of Uttar Pradesh. So if you are wondering as to when is Holi and want to know the date of Holi in 2012 and other following years, check this list below:

Holi 2012 - 8th March
Hope this helps, but remember it tends to last for several days and moves from village to village and town to town

There is also a very colourdull parade held in Mapusa. I think it is on the Sunday after Holi in March. Last year I believe it was on a Sunday evening but cannot remember the name of it. It is worth seeing.
