Dol Yatra is celebrated from the ancient times. On this day, some people worship Radha and Krishna and after that people play with colours.
In Bengal,Odisha,Bihar colour powder is called “Phagu”. Shops remain closed on this very auspicious day and everyone gets time to indulge themselves in the festival spirit.

Dol Purnima is called Holi. People celebrate it with most joy. People also called Holi as Festival of colours. The importance of Holi is that it brings all regions of people together. On this day, people throw colours on each other
Duration: Generally, Dol festival continues for one or two days depending upon the traditions of the society. But in Mathura and Vrindavan, Dol festival is celebrated for 16 days straight as Lord Krishna belongs to these two places.
Holika Dahan also Kamudu pyre is celebrated by burning Holika, the devil. For many traditions in Hinduism, Holi celebrates the death of Holika in order to save Prahlad, and thus Holi gets its name. In olden days, people use to contribute a piece of wood or two for Holika bonfire.
The night before Holi, pyres are burnt in North India, Nepal and parts of South India in keeping with this tradition
It should also be noted that in some parts of India the day is actually called Holika There are other activities associated with the story of Prahlad, but the burning of Holika is the one that we can most directly associate with Holi. Fire burnt on the eve of Holi (Holika Dahan) symbolizes the burning of Holika. The story as a whole is testament to the power of devotion (bhakta) over the evil represented by King Hiranyakashyapu, as Prahlad never lost his faith.
The next day people play Holi, the popular festival of colors.
