Holi is celebrated as a celebration of happiness and mutual friendship. Although it is celebrated to increase mutual friendship and social unity, now it is losing its traditional originality which has started to have a bad effect on social harmony in the name of celebrating Holi. 

The growing influence of modernity and western style customs and culture has lost the originality of the original culture of Holi festival.

Saraswati Dotel, a senior woman member of Palpa, says that the society is becoming more and more arrogant on the pretext of celebrating Holi. "There is a lot of fuss in the society on the pretext of celebrating Holi," she added. 

He says, "We used to play Holi with colorful colors to help the poor families who could not afford treatment in the village, those who could not afford to pay for school fees, and those who could not afford to pay tuition fees." Ghimire explains. He says that despite some changes in the culture over time, the importance of Holi is increasing.

Dipendra Bhattarai says that people should celebrate with their friends, relatives and family. One or two days before the arrival of Holi, the festival was celebrated by singing and dancing Holi songs to the rhythm of various traditional instruments including khanjadi, madal, jhyali.
