The Festival of Colors, also known as Holi, is a vibrant Hindu celebration that marks the arrival of spring. It is celebrated primarily in India and Nepal, but has gained popularity worldwide. During this festival, people throw colored powders, known as gulal, at each other, symbolizing joy, love, and the victory of good over evil. Holi typically takes place in March and lasts for a day or two. The festival also includes singing, dancing, and sharing festive foods. It is a time for communities to come together, forgive past grievances, and celebrate the bonds of friendship and family.
