Dola Purnima or Holi is a popular festival in the coastal districts of Odisha,
its come on full-moon day in the month of falguna (march). On this day renew the relationships,
hug together and wish each other Happy Holi.
Description of the festival as Dolatsaba finds mention in a number of puranas and other
Sanskrit texts. The Padma Purana says, "One is expiated of all sins, who gets a vision of Krishna swaying in the swing." Though the festival of Holi is observed for a day with mirth and merriment
all over the country, the festival is celebrated for five days in Odisha. It starts from the tenth day of the bright fortnight of the month of Falguna (Feb-March) known as Fagu 'Dasami'. Smearing the heads with Abira (a violet colored powder) the people take round the idols of Madanamohana in richly decorated palanquins known as Veemana.
Holi in 2015 will start on Friday, the 6th of March and will continue for 2 days until Saturday, the 7th of March.
