26 March 1956, Monday was the date of holi/holika dahan in 1956.

they celebrate holi on the eve before the 6th moon.On the eve they have a holy fire of holika which they create a dummy of holika and put it on the fire which represents burning evil away. On the day they get coloured powder and water and throw it at every one like a paint fight to represent all the coulors and that's all i know soo far!

Holika was a demoness who couldn't be harmed by fire due to a boon. She tried to kill her nephew Prahlad, who was devoted to Lord Vishnu, by sitting with him in a pyre. However, Holika was burned to ashes while Prahlad emerged unscathed, protected by his unwavering faith. This event is celebrated as Holi, symbolizing the victory of good over evil.
