How to choose a Holi gift

Think about who is gathering with you. A Radha Krishna idol or pocket temple suits a home mandir. A pendant or keychain is a smaller gift, and incense suits a shared puja space.

Check the stated size, material and care on each product page. A brass idol and a plated pocket temple need different cleaning, so follow the note for the piece you choose.

Holi significance in Hindu tradition

Holi is the festival of colours. In Hindu tradition it is linked with the story of Prahlad and Holika. Families remember it at Holika Dahan on the eve. Holi is also linked with the playful devotion of Radha and Krishna.

Holika Dahan is lit on the full moon night of Phalguna, and the colours follow. The date changes every year, so check a panchang. Customs and holi puja practice differ by family and region.

Using a Krishna idol, pocket temple and incense

Place a Krishna idol on a clean, steady surface in your mandir. A pocket temple is a flat, compact piece, so check its stated size before choosing where to keep it.

Light incense in a holder, away from curtains and children. The pendant is worn or kept as a devotional reminder, and many families remember Krishna with Tulsi.

Keep Tulsi beads dry, and store the pendant in a clean box when you are not wearing it.
