HOLI - the Festival of Colors - (state of Gujarat India)

Holi commemorates the victory of good over evil, brought about by the burning and destruction of the demoness named Holika. This was enabled through unwavering devotion to the Hindu god of preservation, Lord Vishnu.
Holi got its name as the "Festival of Colors" from Lord Krishna, a re-incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who liked to play pranks on the village girls by drenching them in water and colors. The festival marks the end of winter and the abundance of the upcoming spring harvest season.

When the winters about to end, hindus celebrate a festival to welcome the spring. this festival has so many significances that cannot be explained all at once. All i know is that hindu festivals have more meaning & science involved than any other civilisations. after all no one messes wid a 10,000 year old epic religion of those beautiful peace loving people !

[@howardtheman]

So how does this work you just get paint colors thrown at you?

[@nitinjaiman]

you throw on others, others throw at you. then after a while everyone dance on DJ and drink thandai that's how it works

[@shopgiftsonline]

Hey buddy Howard Starr these are not actually paint colors but , in simple words we Indians call it gulaal... The herbal gulaal is being used these days which does not have any side effects..

[@unwind050]

Colours are biologically safe and often herbal. Their soothing smell and herbal gulaal's great antiseptic and refreshing properties on skin are beneficial.

[@unwind050]

Gulasl can be removed in just 2 showers while colour takes more rigorous scrubbing but in the end get removed.Enjoy one of the best festival of the world.

[@SanjayKumar-sm4iy]

these color are herbal color no harm full it is easy to remove
