Holi: Festival of Colors

India celebrated its annual festival called Holi. It is a celebration of the new season, spring and is a religious celebration by Hindus. Many took to the streets throwing colored powders at each other. People get colored in pink, yellow, red and purple. Also they splashed colored water on themselves.

The festival took place on March 8th according to the Hindu Calendar. It can be seen in other countries like Nepal, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

This is the day when the entire nation enjoys its heritage bringing all the people together regardless of their age, gender and economic status. The atmosphere was filled with joy and enthusiasm.
