Orleans House Gallery bursts with colour each spring, in March, as people throw coloured pigment in the air to celebrate the arrival of Holi, the Hindu Festival of Colour. The festival, delivered in partnership with the Ethnic Minorities Advocacy Group (EMAG), features traditional celebrations including the play of colours, performances by traditional and Bollywood artists and stalls selling Holi delicacies and handmade crafts.

Holi, (Hindi: ????), is a spring religious festival celebrated by Hindus. It is primarily observed in India. Holi is the festival of colour that heralds the onset of spring. Legend has it that Holi is celebrated because of the triumph of good over evil.
