The Texas Senate has passed its first-ever resolution recognising Holi, officially acknowledging the Hindu festival of colours as a significant cultural celebration.
With this move, Texas becomes the third US state — after Georgia and New York — to formally recognise Holi. The resolution was introduced by Senator Sarah Eckhardt and passed just ahead of Holi celebrations on March 14. It highlights Holi’s cultural and spiritual significance, celebrating spring, renewal, unity, and the triumph of good over evil.
