Yes! The festival of Holi is sometimes also referred to as Hori, especially in parts of North India like Uttar Pradesh and Braj, where traditional songs and celebrations call it “Hori.”
Holi or Hori marks the arrival of spring and celebrates the victory of good over evil, as well as the divine love of Radha and Krishna.
The term “Hori” is more commonly used in folk songs and in local dialects during the festival, while “Holi” is the standard modern name.
Activities include throwing colored powders (gulal), singing Hori songs, dancing, and bonfires (Holika Dahan).
So yes, “Holi” and “Hori” refer to the same festival, just different regional or linguistic variations.
If you want, I can also explain why the festival is linked to Lord Chaitanya’s birth and its devotional significance.
