Holi is a popular Hindu Festival of Colours celebrated across India. It celebrates the triumph of good over evil and the changing of the seasons from winter to spring.
Back home, Holi is an eventful affair. People from all backgrounds, religions, castes, orientations and political beliefs celebrate by praying around a bonfire after sunset, singing, dancing, and playing with colours.
