Happy Holi to those who are celebrating!

Holi, or the festival of colours, is a religious occasion considered the second biggest Hindu festival after Diwali. It marks the beginning of spring after a long winter and signifies the triumph of good over evil.

Typically spanning two days, the eve of Holi is when traditions commence with singing and dancing, while the actual day is the fun time that family and friends gather to playfully throw colorful paint and bright powders at each other and in the air.
