A large group of people celebrate Holi, India's festival of colors, love, and spring together.
Summary edit
| Description |
English: Holi, though originated in India, is still widely celebrated across the globe by many Hindus and non-Hindus. The festival celebrates the love between the Hindu deities Radha and Krishna. Additionally, the day signifies the victory of good over evil. Holi also celebrates the arrival of Spring in India, and the end of winter in Nepal. It is a sacred tradition and cultural celebration which allows Hindus and non-Hindus to have fun by throwing colored powder and water at each other. To many Hindus, the festival marks the start of a new life, by ending conflicts and other emotional impurities of the past.
