'Masan ki Holi' is a distinctive Holi celebration held in Uttar Pradesh. It is celebrated on the day following Rangbhari Ekadashi, which precedes the main Holi festival.
But Masaan Holi, the two-day event of Varanasi, is the most popular as people from across the world visit the ghats of Varanasi where participants apply ashes from funeral pyres and pink powder (gulal) on each other, symbolizing both death and vibrant life.
