It falls on the 14th of January every year according to the Solar Calendar. Many people take a dip in holi rivers such as Yamuna, Ganga Sagar and Prayag.

PONGAL:

Pongal is an important festival of Tamil Nadu, which is celebrated to mark the withdrawal of the Southeast monsoons as well as the reaping of the harvest.
