Just the other day I was going through some of my last year album and in the process I came across some Pictures of Holi.
It is a colorful festival where we play with water and colors.
Just wonder, do you have a festival like that!

We have lots of beautiful festivals here in the Philippines. I do not know which is the most beautiful. But I think the most popular is the Sinulog festival in Cebu. If you love flowers, you should watch Panagbenga festival in Baguio.

In India we have many colourful festivals and diwali is one amongst them. In the Southern parts of India, Diwali is celebratedin the early morning wheras in North India, it is celebrated from evening onwards and it continues till the Mid Night. You could witness a series of bustling Crackers, people distributing sweets to each other and greets one another "Happy Diwali". Although it is a Hindu Festival, it will be celebrated throughout the country. For any Foreigner who visits India during Diwali time they will be totally fascinated by the beauty of Diwali. Another Important festival is Holi. It is mainly being celebrated in the North India. People used to spray on each other with different colours to indicate the bloom of the spring season and their life to turn colourful on that eventful day.

Yes in India Holi is the most colorful festival in all.On this day everyone forgets their old hatred and celebrate this festival with full joy and enthusiasm.On this day everyone colors each others faces with water colors and gulal (its a dry color i.e powdered) .

On this very special day every one eats one special sweet i.e gunjhia .One more practice also followed on this day is throwing ballons on each other especially by children which is very
risky as it could hurt the victim.So that should be avoided.

Hi.
yes, a few bad things have been attached with the pure celebrations but still good things overcome them.

Hello coolmailraj!!!

Well I am from Nepal and in Nepal there are many festivals in a year. Each month there is at least a one festival and all religious.

And sure there is also the holi festival in my country too. There are some of the similar festivals here and there in India. After all we are neighbors. And it is the only day for playing with colors, this color and that color.
But I think, Indians use most colors than us. Most of the people tend to use red what we call sindur.

So same here...holi is the most colorful one among many festivals....

Happy mylotting... thumbup
