Holi is a festival celebrated at the beginning of spring (according to the Hindu lunar calendar). The festival has roots in Hindu mythology and celebrates the triumph of good over evil. Holi is a multi-day event including family gatherings, music, humorous poetry, throwing of colored powder and water, bonfires, and eating special foods.
On the main event day of Holi, around 9 or 10am, women and children walk together and gather in fields to put colored powder on each other and dance. Men gather too to socialize and drink. This continues until about 2pm when everyone cleans up and eats.
We had a lovely time and people were very friendly. They were very happy to have us join them in the celebration.
